FIRST REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE

Hon. E. K. SPINNEY (Yarmouth and Clare):: I beg to present the first report of the Special Committee to whom has been referred Bill No. 122 to amend the Civil Service Act 1918, as follows:
Tour Committee recommends:
1.	That the quorum be reduced to five members.
2.	That leave be granted them to sit while the House is in session.
I move that the report be concurred in.


Mr. SPEAKER:: In the absence of
notice, I must point out that this motion can only be taken up by unanimous consent.


Hon. CHARLES MURPHY (Russell):: I do not rise for the purpose of offering any objection to the adoption of the motion, but I observe that a portion of the report relates to reducing the quorum of this important committee to five members.
I do not know what may have arisen to induce the committee to make that recommendation, but that is a very small quorum to consider the important principle embodied in the Bill, and unless some very good reason is given it strikes me that the recommendation should not be concurred in.


Edgar Keith Spinney: So many committees are in session now, some of the members of which are on this particular committee, that it is necessary to reduce the quorum in order that the work of this committee may be proceeded with.


Mr. MACKENZIE KING:: How many members are there on the committee?


Edgar Keith Spinney: Seventeen.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?


Some hon. MEMBERS:: No.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: Stand.



REPORTS

[Stage Direction]
Report of the Commission appointed under Part I of the Inquiries Act by Order in Council of May 20, 1919, to inquire concerning the possibilities of the reindeer and musk ox industry in the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Canada.-Right Hon. Mr. Meighen.

Summary of report of the Geological Survey, Department of Mines, for the calendar year 1919.-Hon. Mr. Tolmie.

Right Hon. ARTHUR MEIGHEN (Prime Minister) :: I beg to move, Mr. Speaker,
according to notice which has been given, that when this House adjourns on Wednesday the 4th instant it shall stand adjourned until Friday the 6th instant.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.

Arthur Meighen: Mr. Speaker, I beg to move
that on Saturday next, the 7th instant, the House shall meet at two o'clock p.m. I may say that it is the intention, if this motion carries, that the House shall adjourn at six o'clock on that day.


Hon. W. S. FIELDING (Shelburne and Queen's):: I have already on another occasion expressed my view that meeting at two o'clock is a mistake. I do not want to oppose the right hon. gentleman's motion, but I am persuaded that it does not advance public business to meet at two o'clock, for we will be going through the burlesque of legislating with half the members absent.


Charles Murphy: The proposal applies only to next Saturday?


Arthur Meighen: Yes.


William Stevens Fielding: If it is only to apply
to next Saturday, I have no objection. I supposed it applied to all Saturdays.


Arthur Meighen: No.


Mr. BUREAU:: It is the understanding,
that the House will adjourn at six o'clock?


Arthur Meighen: Yes.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.


Right Hon. C. J. DOHERTY (Minister of Justice):: Mr. Speaker, I beg to move
that the special committee to consider Bill No. 12 to amend and consolidate the law relating to copyright, pursuant to the resolution adopted by the House, consist of the following members: Messrs. Morphy, Mowat, Manion, MacKelvie, Rinfret, Jacobs, Euler, Gauthier, Wright and Doherty, with power to send for persons, papers or records, and to report from time to time.
186J


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Hear, hear.


Charles Joseph Doherty: The hon. member for
Marquette (Mr. Crerar), who yesterday said he found my words not easily audible, will appreciate that I am endeavouring to bring forth fruits meet for repentance.


Some Hon. MEMBERS:: Hear, hear.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to.

Mr. P. F. CASGRAIN (Charlevoix-Mont-morency) :: Mr. Speaker, I beg to move,
seconded by Mr. Archambault:
That in accordance with the recommendation contained in the first report of the select standing committee on Standing Orders that part of rule 88 which limits the time for receiving petitions for private bills be suspended in reference to the petition of the Quebec Steamship Company read on Friday the 29th ultimo, and that the said petition be read forthwith, subject to the additional charge provided for by rule 89, paragraph 3a.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: As this motion calls for concurrence in a report of the Select Committee on Standing Orders, under the rules of the House it requires notice, and in the absence of notice the unanimous consent of the House would seem to be necessary.


Arthur Meighen: If there is any hurry, I would not object to the motion being carried. If not, I would like it to stand until Friday.


Pierre-François Casgrain: I have no objection.
Motion stands.



OTTAWA IMPROVEMENT COMMISSION

[Stage Direction]
Right Hon. ARTHUR MEIGHEN (Prime Minister) moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 135, to amend the Ottawa Improvement Commission Act, 1919. He said:
The Bill is not of very great importance. There are two clauses. The first provides for the appointment of a secretary by the Governor in Council. I believe the reason is that the chairman of the commission has a secretary who is acting gratuitously, and that he should be appointed in this way. I really do not know who the secretary is; the chairman is Mr. Matthews. The second clause enables the commission to lease or sell any land not required. There is no such power in the Act now.
William Stevens Fielding: My recollection is that in the original Act it was intended that the secretary should be drawn from the

Civil Service and that his services should be gratuitous. Does this create a paid secretaryship?


Arthur Meighen: No, it does not provide for payment at all. I am informed that Mr. Matthews has a secretary whom he wants and who is acting without pay.


William Stevens Fielding: It is not intended to pay him?


Arthur Meighen: No, this is to authorize his employment.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Bill read the first time.

[Stage Direction]
On the Order:	Introduction of Bill
intituled "an Act to amend the Animal Contagious Diseases Act":
Hon. S. F. TOLMIE:: (Minister of Agriculture) : When I introduced a few days ago the resolution upon which this Bill is based I omitted to state that the assent of the Governor General had been obtained. I wish now to state that this assent has been obtained in connection with the introduction of this Bill.


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: As this Bill was preceded by resolution, it was not necessary that notice should be given of the introduction of the Bill, but I do not see that any harm has been done by the circumstance.
Mr. TOLMIE moved for leave to introduce Bill No. 136 to amend the Animal Contagious Diseases Act.
Motion agreed to and Bill read the first time.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

[Stage Direction]
On the Orders of the Day.
['Yes, if it is in. They may be through by this time. I know that the commission was sitting again about a week ago to complete its work.']
Mr. P. R. McGIBBON (Argenteuil):: I would like to ask if I may get a reply to two questions which I asked about the end of February last. So far I have not received any answer.


Arthur Meighen: If the questions are
not on the Order Paper I assume that they have been passed as order for return. If the hon. gentleman will give me the subject matter I will have it looked into. He might drop me a note to-day.



Arthur Meighen: I stated that probably I
could announce to-day when the Budget speech would be delivered. The Budget speech will be ready for next Monday.


JUDGE SNIDER'S REPORT
Hon. RODOLPHE LEMIEUX (Maison-neuve-Gaspe) :: May I ask the minister
if the Snider report is now ready to be laid on the Table?


Arthur Meighen: An interim report has been received from Judge Snider. The Government did not feel it would be fair to those concerned to bring down that interim report before the whole report was in. I understand that the commission is again sitting. When the report is in it will be laid on the Table.


Rodolphe Lemieux: During this session?


Arthur Meighen: Yes, if it is in. They may be through by this time. I know that the commission was sitting again about a week ago to complete its work.


POST OFFICE ACT AMENDMENT
[Stage Direction]
On motion of Hon. C. J. Doherty (Minister of Justice) Bill No. 57 (from the Senate), to amend the Post Office Act, was read the third time and passed.


[Stage Direction]
On the Order:
Resolved. That i-t is expedient to repeal subsection four of section seventy-one A of the Railway Act, 1919, as enacted by chapter sixty-six of the statutes of 1920, and in lieu thereof to provide that the powers conferred upon the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada by the said section seventy-one A, to do and authorize all such acts and things and to make from time to time all such orders and regulations as the Board may deem necessary or advisable by reason of the real or apprehended scarcity of coal or other fuel supplies in Canada, and the other related powers of the Board as prescribed in the said section, shall continue in force until they are declared to be no longer in operation by proclamation of the Governor in Council.- The Minister of Railways and Canals.
John Dowsley Reid: Mr. Speaker, when I placed this resolution on the Order Paper, I understood that the Ontario Government also intended passing a Bill in regard to fuel control in Ontario. But as they have dropped that Bill and do not intend passing it, I wish to drop this resolution. I, therefore, move that this Order be-discharged.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and Order discharged.

[Stage Direction]
The House again in committee on Bill No. 13, to amend and consolidate the Acts respecting the inspection of gas and gas meters.-Sir George Foster. Mr. Boivin in the Chair.
On section 6-right of access by contractor to premises where gas is used.
The CHAIRMAN:: When this Bill was last before the committee, all of the clauses had been adopted with the exception of clause 6. Clause 6 had been amended by adding after the word "removing" in line 40 on page 2 of the Bill, the words "when lawfully entitled so to do."


Mr. McKENZIE :: There was a good deal of discussion in the committee on that occasion about the rights of people entering a house and doing certain things.


Sir GEORGE FOSTER:: The words
"when lawfully entitled so to do" were inserted, and it was thought the rights of householders would be protected in that way.


[Stage Direction]
Section agreed to.
Bill reported, read the third time and passed.

[Stage Direction]
Hon. HUGH GUTHRIE (Acting Solicitor General) moved the second reading of Bill No. 130, to amend the Dominion Elections Act.
William Lyon Mackenzie King: I should like to draw the attention of the Prime Minister (Mr. Meighen) to the fact that this Bill has only just been printed. It is not even on the files, and it is a Bill of some 35 or 40 pages. No hon. member has had an opportunity of reading it yet.


Mr. GUTHRIE:: It is a Bill consisting
of five pages and 25 pages of forms. I may say that the Bill was unanimously passed by the Committee on Privileges and Elections, and it follows word for word, without a word of variation, the recommendation of the Chief Electoral Officer. The forms have been re-enacted because it was found that many of the forms in the Act of last year did not conform exactly with the text of the statute and it was thought better to re-enact them. The committee passed on the whole thing unanimously.


William Stevens Fielding: Are those reasons
why a Bill should be adopted that has not been placed on the files?


George Green Foster: It shows confidence in the committee.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: Not a single member has had an opportunity of reading the Bill, and under the circumstances, it should stand.


Arthur Meighen: I am quite prepared
to let it stand. I understood this was a formal amendment.
Motion stands.


The House again in Committee of Supply, Mr. Boivin in the Chair.


Arthur Meighen: I desire just to have
one item of Public Works called as the right hon. member for King's (Sir Robert Borden) wishes to make a statement before leaving. After that we will pass to another Estimate. We have been on Public Works before.
Public Works-salaries and contingencies, $683,510.


Sir ROBERT BORDEN:: I rise, not so much for the purpose of discussing this item, as to direct the attention of the House and especially the attention of the Government to the need of some immediate provision for the preservation of the public records of this country. I shall not attempt any elaborate review* of the necessity, but with due regard to the stage of the session, I shall endeavour to condense my remarks into the briefest possible compass. Therefore, I need not, in the first instance, emphasize the importance of preserving the records of public administration. That necessity has been realized in all civilized countries. I think it was Lord Salisbury who stated many years ago that "a nation which cannot produce its archives is like a bank that cannot redeem its paper currency with gold." Lord Durham also s*id: "A country without a history is not a nation," and a country cannot have a history in the true sense unless its records are preserved.
Let me state very briefly what has been done in Great Britain. In the year 1800 a committee of the House of Commons was appointed to make a report on the condition of public records in England and Scotland. As a result of this report, a Royal Commission was named, charged with the arrangement and publication of public records, and the control of all public repositories. This commission was renewed from year to year until 1837, and it issued many valuable publications. Up to that time no effective steps had been taken in Great Britain to ensure the safety of the records. With few exceptions, documents of the courts of law and government offices were stored at several places, mostly of an unsuitable nature, and the contents were inaccessible and unknown.
In 1837 an Act was passed. I have under my hand some details of its provisions, but it is not necessary that I should allude to them specially. It provided for the safety of the records, for their custody, for their classification and for the publication of information with regard to them. From the passing of this Act up to the present time, papers not required for the current business of administration in Great Britain have beeen removed to the Public Record Office, where they are arranged, classified and dealt with acording to regulations.
What has been done in the United States? I invite the attention of hon. gentlemen to this in particular, because in some respects the United States have given more attention and accomplished more work with regard to the history of Canada than we have done up to the present. In the United States they make no division between the two countries for historical purposes, and they have accomplished a great deal. The State Archives building in Wisconsin alone cost ten times more than the Canadian Archives building, and practically every state has an important building set aside for the purpose. The state of Michigan was perhaps the last to provide for its needs. In that state there was an enormous collection of historical material in the hands of Mr. Burton, which was known as the Burton Library. At a cost of several million dollars, the state purchased these documents which related to Michigan and to a portion of territory which was formerly Canadian. The collection is now state property, although it is still known as. the Burton collection.
In addition to the aid rendered by the state, enormous sums of money have been expended by private individuals on the history of the United States. The Carnegie Institute at Washington has an historical section, with a director at a salary of $10,000 a year. His duty is to find out in every part of the world material which will fill the gaps in American history. It is not his duty either to acquire documents or to copy them, but simply to tell the student where they are. For this purpose men have been sent to examine the Archives in France, England, Germany, Spain, Italy, Russia, Mexico, Cuba, Canada and other places. Guides are published of this material, including a volume of considerable size on Canada.
The Carter Brown Library in Rhode Island was founded many years ago by Mr. Carter, who left some millions of dollars for the purpose of collecting books and pamphlets previous to the year 1800 relating to North America. With the

interest on this money, a most valuable collection of books dealing with Canada and Newfoundland has been acquired. I believe that in the case now pending before the Privy Council between Canada and Newfoundland with regard to Labrador, it has been found necessary to resort to material which can be found in this collection and cannot be found anywhere within the limits of Canada. It is in this place, and in this place alone, that some of the most valuable hooks relating to Canada are to be found. As a further illustration, of many which might be given, I may say that the University of California possesses about two-thirds of the historical material relating to the province of British Columbia.
For these reasons the American universities are in a position to offer, and do offer, a far better course in history than can be offered anywhere in Canada. This will, in the course of time, have a serious effect on Canadian development, and it is certainly worthy of the most earnest and careful consideration by those who are entrusted with the government of this country.
What has Canada done? As far back as 1831 the Hon. Mr. Stuart introduced a resolution into the Assembly for a grant of money for the advancement of the knowledge of the history of the country. He thought it was most desirable that we should obtain a knowledge of how the French and English Governors had conducted the government of this country and of the progress that had been made. An interesting debate, to which I need not further allude, took place, but fifty years passed before the Government of Canada, in not a very effective way, undertook to make some provision for the preservation and classification of our Archives. Within the past fifteen or eighteen years there have been more liberal appropriations for the purpose, and I am glad to recall the fact that under the administration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier a building for the housing of the Archives was provided. That building, as I shall attempt to point out, has become absolutely and absurdly inadequate for the purpose for which it was intended.
Through indifference and failure in the past to provide a safe place for the Archives of this country, many of the most important documents have been destroyed, and but for the foresight of the English and French Governors in insisting on duplicates and triplicates of official documents, Canada would not be in a position to-day to understand much of her past history or to obtain the documents to con-

duct her negotiations relating to treaties, boundaries, fisheries and lands. Without the materials for history it is perfectly obvious to hon. gentlemen that we can only have meagre text books in our schools, and that the teaching of history in our universities must be poor. In that case our people will grow up with but a limited knowledge of our progress and of its tendencies and characteristics, and we shall be less fitted than we otherwise would be to cope with present and future problems.
I should like to direct the attention of hon. members, and particularly the atten tion of the Prime Minister and his col leagues, to the report which was made b5 the Royal Commission appointed by the Canadian Government in 1912. I refer to it in the first place to show the extreme insecurity in which very valuable records are placed at the present time. I quote from the report of that commission, which was composed of Sir Joseph Pope, Undersecretary of State for External Affairs, Mr. E. F. Jarvis, Assistant Deputy Minister of Militia and Defence, and Dr. Arthur G. Doughty, Dominion Archivist. First, as to the state of preservation of public documents, I quote as follows:
This varies. In most of the departments, while the current correspondence is well kept, the older documents are commonly relegated to basements, attics and dark rooms, apparently rather as lumber to be got rid of than as records to be preserved, and too frequently are not so arranged as to admit of ready reference, or in not a few instances, even of convenient access. In some cases there is no semblance of method, the older papers being stored in inaccessible places, without pretence of classification, or any precise indication as to what the collection may contain. The exposure of the documents to dust, dampness, and other agencies, and in some cases their proximity to the heating apparatus of the building, contribute t,o the deterioration of the papers, while the inflammable nature of the shelving on which they are placed is a constant source of danger.
The report goes on to say, that in most eases these documents are not required for use in the office beyond a period of five years back, and it is said that "the experience of the Militia Department (the only department which so far has transferred its old records to the Archives), is that these inquiries can he answered more satisfactorily by the Archivist, to whom all such questions are referred."
Now comes a very important part of the report, as to the character of the buildings in which records of priceless value for historical purposes are kept at present:
As regards this feature there is no uniformity. In some departments the files of correspondence,

of whatever age, are contained in steel cabinets and are readily accessible. In others, many of the older documents are stored away in wooden cupboards or boxes, sometimes loosely piled on shelves, or, it may be, on the floor of basement or attic rooms, where they lie for years, dustladen and forgotten, offering scant facilities for examination, and in some instances well-nigh inaccessible. The rooms in the upper stories of most buildings in which these documents are lodged are totally unfit for the storage of valuable records. The wood is old and dry and there would be little prospect of saving any of the papers in the event of fire. One fact, everywhere observable, is that the preservation and care of the older records is the last thought of anybody.	_	.	,
The congested condition of the offices owing to the lack of room is no doubt largely responsible for this state of affairs, as in many departments the ingenuity of the higher officials is sorely taxed to find space in which to transact current business. Under these conditions it is not surprising that documents rarely, if ever, required for the conduct of the day's work, should be relegated to dark rooms and passages not suitable for other uses.
Then the report goes on to point out that thousands of documents are stored in buildings throughout the city in upper rooms, with old fashioned wooden staircases. These papers are in various stages of neglect, with no protection of any sort against fire. To indicate the volume of these records, I may point out, as stated in the report of the commission, the following facts: In the East Block alone there are 69 rooms with 308,810 cubic feet, 7,178 drawers, 22,633 lineal feet of shelves devoted to the storage of records. In the West Block there are 74 rooms, 353,473 cubic feet, 13,662 drawers, 7,538 lineal feet of shelves. In the old Parliament building there were 22 rooms, 66,594 cubic feet, 2,082 drawers, 10,240 lineal feet of shelves. In the Langevin block and other buildings there are 283 rooms, 901,137 cubic feet, 69,950 drawers, and 86,808 lineal feet of shelves. These figures give a grand total of 438 rooms, 1,629,014 cubic feet, 92,872 drawers, and 127,219 lineal feet of shelves. In other words, there are over 24 miles of shelves. The report indicates that a very large quantity of these documents might be destroyed under competent authority, and it is urged that they should be classified at once and that those of value should be removed immediately to a special fire-proof building provided for the purpose.
This report was made immediately before the war, and during the stress and anxiety of conditions due thereto, it was not acted upon, although, perhaps, it should have been, even under those conditions. As a matter of fact, an Order in Council was passed a few months before war began
to give effect to the recommendations of the commission, and a sum of money was placed in the Estimates for the construction of the necessary building, but owing to the war the proposal was not carried out.
I am reminded by my hon. friend the member for East Hamilton (Mr. Mewburn), that among those documents to which I have alluded are records of absolutely priceless value relating to the achievements and,records of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. I am told that there are about 700,000 such files in the Rea building, which is not fireproof, and that material, the destruction of which would shock the country, may at any time be destroyed unless some adequate measures are taken for its preservation. In addition, I should like to emphasize the point, which I made a moment ago, that even for the material under the care of the Dominion Archivist, the space at his command is absolutely and utterly insufficient.
I should be very glad indeed if any word of mine could bring to the attention of hon. members of this House the very great importance of the work which has been accomplished in the Archives during the past fifteen or twenty years, in securing, preserving and classifying the records of Canada. I recollect very well when Dr. Doughty was brought to Ottawa to take charge of the Archives of this country.
I recall the discussions which we had in the House, and I look back with some satisfaction to the fact that I did everything possible to encourage him to continue in the work which he had undertaken. He was a little discouraged at first on account of the inadequacy of the financial provision for his work, and I remember that from the side of the House which I then occupied, we did venture to urge upon the Government, and especially upon the then Minister of Agriculture, a somewhat larger appropriation. Dr. Doughty is a man whose service is of very great value to this country in the work which he is carrying on. In the first place, he has all the zeal and zest of an enthusiast. His whole heart is in his work, and he has, besides, the system and the organizing capacity of a business man. These two qualifications are but seldom united in one person and they have enabled him to be of the greatest possible service to this country.
In that connection, let me add a word in regard to the work which is being carried on by the Board of Historical Publications. That board consists of Dr. Adam

Shortt, as chairman; Dr. Doughty, the Dominion archivist; Prof. George M. Wrong, of Toronto University; Prof. Charles W. Colby, of McGill University, and the Hon. Thomas Chapais, a member of the Senate. The object of the board is to put at the immediate and convenient service of all persons in any way interested in Canadian history the most essential documents bearing on the development of the vital interests of the Canadian people. A vast amount of documental and other material relating to the early history of this country has been gathered together, and perhaps I could sum up the work of the board in a word. In a certain sense, and to a certain extent, the Board of Historical Publications acts as the interpreter, to the people of Canada and to the rest of the world, of the material which has been and is being gathered together in the Archives. Much of this material has been brought to light only recently, through the activities of the Archives Department. The very volume of it and the labour entailed in making thorough researches has hitherto deterred all but a few enthusiasts from making full use of it. The work of the board has been to organize such research and to put out such publications as will make the labours of the Dominion Archivist and his staff available generally to Canadian people, and particularly to those interested in historical research. It is claimed, and_ I think with justice, that the effect of this is greatly to broaden the basis of Canadian history, to impart a new interest in that history to those who at present are practically indifferent, and also to make for a more intelligent, practical, and wholesome national sentiment. I hope the committee will bear with me if I read just a word from an address upon the work of the Board of Historical Publications, which was delivered by Dr. Adam Shortt, chairman, before the Royal Society of Canada in 1919. He said:
Owing- to the peculiar relations which Canada [DOT]bore to the Mother Country, both as a French and as an English colony, and the necessity for a constant interchange of information and instructions, special facts, views, and interests there was. produced and accumulated a remarkable body of documentary records embodying the chief facts of Canadian history. There is a greater variety than might be expected, in the presentation of the facts and views, since there were several effective channels, public and private, through which these might 'be presented and appeals made to the imperial authorities. Thus in the long run most currents of colonial life were represented in one form or another, whether for approval or condemnation, in criticism or defence. Much local material, considerable private correspondence, 
and many descriptive accounts of the country and the condition of the people have been preserved and recovered. Early newspapers and pamphlets, though many of them rare or unique, and quite scattered in their location, are also extant and furnish a very necessary atmosphere of fact and comment for the more central and official documents. Owing to the very volume of this material, even so far as collected at the Archives in Ottawa, and more so as scattered in various Canadian centres, it is possible for only a very limited number of students to consult it. To do so requires at once a strong personal interest, a special historical training, the necessary leisure, and last, but far from least, the requisite means, to enable one at all adequately to consult the documentary and other evidence necessary to satisfactory results.
Further on he says:
If, therefore, our Canadian history is to be known in authentic form, not only to our own people, but to the outside world, whose interest in Canada is steadily rising, it requires the facilities for direct knowledge to be greatly increased. It is necessary to put in available form the chief documents relating to the various phases of the country's history.
I have only quoted very slightly from this pamphlet. I understand that a number of copies are available for the information of hon. gentlemen and any of them would find the pamphlet well worth a perusal. It gives a comprehensive outline of the programme which the board has undertaken.
I should have alluded, in speaking of the nation's loss, to the very great loss we sustained when the old Parliament Buildings were destroyed a few years ago. At that time a mass of material went up in flames, the loss of which is absolutely irreparable seeing that this material bore directly, in many ways, upon the history of this country. In examining the currents of thought bearing upon the legislation presented to Parliament, we have a most valuable guide to the tendency of public opinion from time to time, and to the progress and development- of the national thought. All that material and much other information, the nature of which will readily occur to hon. gentlemen, has absolutely been lost; and fifty times as much is to-day in danger of being lost through the accidental occurrence of a fire against which no precautions are being taken at present.
I spoke of the valuable services of Dr Doughty. Let me also observe that in my opinion Dr. Shortt has a knowledge, an ability and an experience which have enabled him to be of the greatest service to this country. His work in the past has largely been in the historical line. His whole heart is in his work, and he is very ably assisted by Dr. Doughty, and by the three gentlemen whom I have mentioned whose labours are entirely unremunerated

by the country because they are labours of love, and whose work with Dr. Shortt and Dr. Doughty has gone on most harmoniously and effectively.
Now, I realize that we are under conditions when any proposal for increased expenditure must be examined very carefully by hon. gentlemen, and by the Government who must initiate it, before any such proposal will find favour. But we do make appropriations in respect of the material affairs of this country. No one,
I am sure, will minimize the importance of our material progress and development.
I can look back for more than half a century in realizing the remarkable advance in standards of living among the people since my boyhood days. And we need not fear as to our future development. But crops and manufactures do not make up the whole life of a nation. The development of the intellectual and spiritual qualities of the nation, of the moral qualities of the people, is surely not of less importance. A nation which neglects these higher considerations cannot hold its place in the world. The preservation of our records has a direct relation to such considerations. I do strongly urge that some appropriation for the purpose should be made before the conclusion of 4 p.m. the present session.
I offer this last observation. Looking back over the history of the world we may learn that what men have presently regarded as immaterial and unsubstantial has proved in the lapse of centuries most material in that it is most enduring. The Forum and the Coliseum are in ruins, but the history, the literature and the jurisprudence of Rome will always survive.


William Lyon Mackenzie King: I think the
House will agree with the right hon. member for Kings (Sir Robert Borden) that it is most important that there should be suitable and adequate accommodation for the public records of this country. I think we all recognize that the circumstance of the war coming at the time it did, and occasioning efforts in so many directions, has really been responsible for an accumulation of material of priceless value the coming into existence of which could not be foreseen at the time the original Archives building was erected. Any hon. member who has visited the Archives will have seen how overcrowded the buildings have been for many years. The need, I think, is obvious and the purpose is as worthy a one as the House could be called upon to support.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I only regret that the
right hon. gentleman when he was Prime Minister, and when there was still some money in the Treasury, should not have carried out the conclusions of the report which he read a moment ago. I am, however, in entire accord with the remarks made by him. I think, as Lord Salisbury said, a country which has no Archives is like a bank which cannot redeem its currency in gold; and by the way, my right hon. friend quoted from Lord Durham a remark which is, in a sense, historic. It is true that Lord Durham said a country without a history is not a nation. He said that on the occasion of his famous report, and it was directed against the minority in this country-at that time the majority. But the answer came afterwards, and showed that there was a wealth of records and Archives in the country, thus establishing the right of the French Canadians to consider themselves as a nation with a history. Because, as my right hon. friend knows, that remark was at once taken up by the most remarkable historian that Canada has produced so far-I refer to F. X. Garneau-who wrote a work which is considered a standard book; and if you read the introduction written by his grandson, in the fourth edition of Garneau's "History of Canada," you will find that it was that very remark of Durham which prompted Garneau to write the history of his country. And his book, as I stated a moment ago, is considered, not only in America but in Europe, as a standard book.
Mr. Chairman, the right hon. gentleman is quite correct when he says that we should be more careful about our national records, whcih are to be found not only in Canada but even in the United States. I remember reading some years ago a series of books written by the late Mr. Roosevelt dealing with the history of the far West, and in a footnote he stated that he had based his work on documents obtained in what was originally part of New France, that is, in some of the Western States. The Champlain Society is an American society, but mostly all its published documents are of Canadian origin. This society has published the Relations des Jesuites, which is a most important series of documents of old French Canada. My right hon. friend spoke of the work accomplished under the inspiration of the late Mr. Stuart, a member of the old Assembly in 1831. As we all know, the documents which were collected under the Union were all lost in the fire which destroyed the Parliament build-

ings in Montreal in 1849. I heard the late Mr. P. J. 0. Chauveau state on more than one occasion-and he was himself a member of that Assembly-that invaluable records were destroyed on that occasion. But since that date Canada has been able to collect a large number of very important documents, both originals and duplicates, relating to her history. We owe a debt of gratitude especially to the late Mr. Brymner, and also to his successor, Dr. Doughty; but we must not forget that it was our late beloved Sfriend, the Hon. Sydney Fisher, who undertook to give our Archives a repository in this city. It was when he was acting Minister of Public Works that he induced Parliament to vote a sum of money to erect our Archives building. I quite admit that it is now inadequate, but there is space on both sides, and for a reasonable sum of money the present building could be extended to provide the accommodation which is now so urgently needed. I must not forget, too, that nearly all our Governors General have helped us in enriching our Archives, and especially the late Earl Grey. It was under Earl Grey that the Government of Canada became the possessor of all the official despatches exchanged between the Canadian and Home Governments since British domination. Those despatches, commissions, etc., were in London, but thanks to the intervention of Lord Grey they have now come into our possession. If it is decided to enlarge the Archives building, I would suggest that as the Royal Society is officially recognized and subsidized to a certain extent by the Government, the buildings be so\ arranged that the annual meetings of the society may be held there and their library and records be deposited there. Several resolutions to that effect have been passed by the Royal Society, and it seems to me that they should be carried out.
While I quite agree with the right hon. gentleman that the present Archives building is absolutely inadequate and is insufficiently protected against fire, I must at the same time express my profound regret at the wanton destruction of the many invaluable documents which took place a few months ago in this city. On several occasions I have asked the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Meighen) to lay on the table of the House what is known as the Snider report. I shall not discuss it now as it is not before the House, but it is unfortunately only too true that thousands and thousands-I do

not exaggerate-of records and blue books were destroyed, whether from ignorance or wilfully I cannot say. I cannot believe that it was due to the mere lust of destruction; but if it was through ignorance, that ignorance was almost criminal. I do not wish to accuse any one, although rumours are very thick on the subject in the city; but if it is found that officials having some grey matter in their heads took upon themselves to destroy those thousands of documents, many of which cannot be duplicated to-day, certainly criminal proceedings should be taken against them. I have been told that there were books, reports and records in that mass of destroyed documents which could not be replaced. For instance, there were maps dating from the time of the first French settlement in Canada, there were reports dating from the beginning of the British domination, and there were many blue books and reports dating before Confederation. Yet some officials of the Government, I am told, had the audacity to order the destruction of those documents. Once more I must protest against this wanton destruction, and I hope that when the right hon. gentleman receives Mr. Justice Snider's report he will take the necessary steps to prosecute the authors of that destruction.


Mr. CURRIE:: Mr. Chairman, I happen to know a little about this affair. As chairman of the Committee on Printing, I took occasion to make a short investigation as to how much damage was ,done. As a matter of fact I found that no documents of any value to the country were destroyed.


Rodolphe Lemieux: How do you know?


John Allister Currie: We have a list of all the documents that were there.


Rodolphe Lemieux: I am told it is incomplete.


John Allister Currie: The hon. gentleman is all wrong. In fact, the documents stowed away were duplicates, and the Committee on Printing decided that they should be distributed to the various public libraries throughout the country, and that was in process of being done when somebody in the department or some of these outside people who were cleaning up the department, when they came upon statutes of say 1918, 1917, 1916 and earlier, which were all duplicates, fired them out of the place to make room for other documents. Some of the older duplicates had

been lying there for years and nobody took any notice of them. This is just a tempest in a teapot. None of the big libraries will lose these duplicates, because we can easily replace them; duplicate volumes can be obtained from the departments and other places. As to the matter of burning or destroying them, thousands of books of this description are destroyed every year in the departments. They take up room and lumber the scenery; some one comes along and says: "Who wants all this stuff here?" or perhaps a "new broom" comes in and sweeps clean, as in this case. A change was being made in the department; a branch was being transferred down to the Printing Bureau, and there was a great accumulation of stuff there. Well, after this had been done, several officials in the department who are always making themselves a little busy and trying to exaggerate their own importance, raised a big row about it. The question has been raised as to who was the author of that order. Now, Judge Snider heard evidence here, and from my information in the matter Judge Snider did not act just as fairly as he should-


Arthur Meighen: I think the entire
discussion with reference to the judge is out of order. It is entirely wrong to refer to a judge in that way.


John Allister Currie: I do not want the hon. member for Maisonneuve to give the impression that thousands of documents and old maps of value were destroyed. There is not an old map of Canada of any value which cannot be found in the Archives. There was no document of any value in that room which cannot be found in the Parliamentary Library and in the various departments. There were duplicate volumes of publications of the departments which the departments did not wish to retain, and these accumulated as they always have accumulated. They were not valuable at all. I have seen the list of documents which was prepared with a view to seeing how many could be dispensed with. The intention was to do away with some anyway and to select a certain number of volumes to be sent to the various libraries, but unfortunately before the selection was made some one gave an order for their destruction. But there is no great loss to the country, as the hon. gentleman would have seen if he had taken the trouble to make an investigation into the matter. Unfortunately we cannot now go into the
question of Judge Snider's report, but when that report comes in I will take occasion to discuss it.


Mr. CRERAR:: The matter which my right hon. friend from King's (Sir Robert Borden) has brought before the committee this afternoon is one of no small importance. In the various matters which come before this House we are prone to give the main consideration to those things that are more or less material in character.
I quite agree with the sentiment expressed by my right hon. friend that those things which have to do with the history of a country, with the character and intimate life of its people and of those who have preceded the present generation, should be of very considerable interest to those who are legislating now. The present condition so far as our public records and documents are concerned cannot be satisfactory to any one who has regard for his country's interests. We have a building which is altogether inadequate for the housing of these records. My right hon. friend has given the details of the manner in which a great many of our public records are now stored. Take the East block and the West block; if a fire should take place in either of those buildings their interior construction is such that everything within them would be destroyed. There is wood there which has been drying almost for generations; everything is of a highly inflammable character and the loss that the country might sustain would be very great indeed. I have often thought, Mr. Chairman as I have wandered into the Library adjacent to this building, how easily a fire could sweep everything within its walls and destroy all the books, many of which are of rare value. I think this is a matter which should at the proper time, and as early as possible, receive the consideration of the Government and of Parliament.
Allusion has been made by the hon. member for Maisonneuve (Mr. Lemieux) to the value of the documents that were recently destroyed. I am not going to interpose in the difference of opinion between my hon. friend from North Simcoe (Mr. Currie) and my hon. friend from Maisonneuve as to the value of these documents; from what I have heard they were of very considerable value. But does this not emphasize the pressing need of some better system of handling the public records than we have, so that these records may from time to time be scrutinized by those who are competent to do so

with a view to determining their historical value and placing those which are of value beyond the possibility of loss? We are voting this year $20,000,000 for militia, naval, police and air services. I suggest that Parliament might very well take one million dollars of that vote and devote it to the purpose of providing proper housing for our public records. This is a matter which should be taken up without delay; the public documents should be carefully surveyed and those of historical value set aside for future generations. The members of the committee are indebted to my right hon. friend from King's for bringing this matter to their attention.


Arthur Meighen: I would not for a moment question the wisdom of a policy of reasonable generosity in public expenditure for the purpose of preserving to the country the records, dispatches, communications, and other documents that we already have, and those that accrue from year to year. The importance of such preservation multiplies as years advance, and it always looks the smallest just at the time when the necessity for the outlay of money is before us. I do not think that Canada can be said to have been negligent in the matter of collecting, systematizing -and, indeed, up to now, preserving, or at least arranging for their preservation- the historical records of the country, nor do I think there is any neglect at the present time in that regard. Great care has been taken, so far back as I have had any occasion to traverse, to see that, nothing was lost, so far as loss could be avoided. Pains have been taken, indeed, to collect everything that could assist enlightened discussion in future, and that would be necessary for accurate historical survey. In making the collection, possibly, we have not provided the outlay necessary for its safe preservation. We have been very unfortunate in that regard. I do not know that it can be attributed to neglect; it is attributable much more to accident. The loss of the Legislative Buildings at Montreal in 1849, and of the Parliament Buildings in this city in 1916 were very great disasters. Perhaps the most deplorable feature of the disasters was the destruction of just such material as we ought to cherish, such as is under discussion now. There can be no question that, at the moment, we are very much in arrear in providing suitable building accommodation for the Archives, and we are all along running very substantial risks in keeping such archives as we now possess in the various buildings through-
out the city in which they are stored. Those buildings are not in keeping with the valuable nature of the documents lodged there, which we ought carefully to preserve. We must, remember, however, that for outlay upon public buildings in this city, a tremendous demand fell upon us when the Parliament buildings were destroyed in 1916. Under the stress of ' the war, under the load of obligations which the war brought upon us, we had to address ourselves to the task of renewing on this Hill this commodious and magnificent pile, an effort that in itself has entailed an expenditure running already into many millions, though the work is not yet complete; an expenditure which, I venture now to express the opinion, has been well made; an expenditure which would have to be vastly increased if the structure had to be replaced now. On the whole, while, perhaps, errors may have been made, the conduct of the entire construction has been creditable to the country.
What I set out to say in that regard, however, was merely this: that the work has imposed upon the public treasury a burden of an unprecedented character for public buildings in Ottawa. We had to provide the Hunter building in the city because of the expansion of the public service during the war, and the certainty that that building, at least, would be necessary afterwards. Indeed, there are many more ' buildings which we shall have to continue to lease for many years. In a word, we have had to confine ourselves to essentials, and when I use the word "esesntials," I use it in, perhaps, its narrowest sense; because it might well include just such accommodation as had been so eloquently urged by the right hon. member for King's (Sir Robert Borden) this afternoon. All I am in a position to state at the moment with regard to that, is that the matter will be taken into consideration as soon as we feel that we can at all justify an expenditure of this nature.
Some reference has been made to a particular destruction of documents that occurred in this city, I think, about a year ago, and in relation to which an investigation under the Inquiries Act has been under way for some time by Judge Snider, of the County Court of Wentworth. It is not altogether appropriate, in fact, I doubt if it is in order, that there should be any discussion as to the circumstances connected with that loss, whatever the loss may be, pending the report and its pre-

sentation to this House. I observe a wide difference of opinion between the hon. member for Maisonneuve (Mr. Lemieux) and the hon. member for Simcoe North (Mr. Currie) as to the loss that has occurred. I will not venture to decide between them, or to express an opinion at all. I shall be surprised if the loss goes quite the length feared by the hon. member for Maisonneuve, and I shall be delighted if it is no greater than that stated by the hon. member for Simcoe North. Suffice it to say this, that when the report is received the House will be in a position to judge from both the evidence and the finding, how much of that destruction, whatever its extent may be, is attributable to accident, how much to ignorance, how much to stupidity, how much to malignity, and how much to crime, if any. When we have the report before us, then will be^ the time to discuss the matter; and I think we might well abide that event before making up our minds to see that somebody goes to gaol because, unfortunately, documents have been lost.
All I will say in conclusion, is that I appreciate the manner in which the right hon. gentleman has pressed his views upon the House, and I hope that the evidence of their acceptability, that now is apparent everywhere around me, will be present when any appropriation that the Government desires to submit to the House is before the committee for review.


Robert Laird Borden: I am very
glad that the Prime Minister and his colleagues will take this matter into consideration, and I hope their consideration will result in some action, which I think is sorely needed. May I be permitted to associate myself with what the hon. member for Maisonneuve has said with regard to the service of Dr. Brymner and also with regard to the assistance afforded to this country by Lord Grey while he was Governor General. I should like to add that Lord Minto was also most zealous and active in the assistance which he gave to the Dominion Archivist and the people of this country generally in securing documents of great value from other countries.


John Allister Currie: In reference to the
destruction of these documents, they were not original documents, I understand; they were simply surplus copies of blue books and statutes. A department publishes a blue book and issues it throughout the country. A certain number of volumes that
the people do not take, are sent always to the junk pile.


Mr. VIEN:: How does the hon. member
know?


John Allister Currie: As I stated before, 1
saw a list of them, and I think I have a list upstairs in my room.


Rodolphe Lemieux: It is admitted by archivists of eminence in the country that the documents were most invaluable. Some of them cannot be found in the Library to-day.
Item stands.
Railways and Canals,-chargeable to Income -Trent canal improvements, $515,000.


John Dowsley Reid: When this item was
under discussion a few days ago, I gave the details of the expenditure. Does the committee want the details again.


Thomas Vien: I should like to have some
information as to the details of this item.


John Dowsley Reid: This sum is to be
expended on the following work: New lock and dam at Bobcaygeon, $205,000; at Lake-field, $40,000; Otonabee river dams, Nassau, $175,000; construction of lock gauge, $25,000; reservoir dams, $25,500; Mississauga lake dams, $8,000; concrete railings for river walls, $6,000; painting lift locks, $6,000; miscellaneous works, $9,500; total, $515,000.


Mr. CAMPBELL:: Would it not have
been better to include the details in the Estimates?


John Dowsley Reid: It has always been the custom to give the total amount in the Estimates, and to give the committee the details.


Mr. McMASTER:: What amount of
tonnage passed through this canal on which we are spending so much money, last year, for instance?


John Dowsley Reid: The total tonnage that passed through the whole length is about 50,000, but, of course, the waterway is not open all the way through the Georgian bay, but only from Trenton to Orillia.


Andrew Ross McMaster: Is any record kept
of the number of ships that pass through the canal?


John Dowsley Reid: The officers along the
canal send the information in to the Statistics Branch, which is under the Department of Trade and Commerce.


Mr. GORDON:: If I might be allowed
to make reference to this matter in answer

to some of the inquiries that have been made by hon. members, I may say that for many years I have lived in the neighbourhood of this Trent Canal system. As to the history of this Nassau dam, on October 27, 1896, when the Hon. A. G. Blair was Minister of Railways and Canals, an agreement was entered into between the Dominion Government and the Bank of Commerce, which was the owner of the riparian rights in the property adjacent to the Nassau dam, by which the property was conveyed to the Dominion Government on certain terms. The question of power rights arose, the Bank of Commerce owning those rights, and the Government being desirous of constructing a section of the canal running from Nassau to east and south of the city of Peterborough. It became necessary for the Government to make terms with the Bank of Commerce, and those terms were briefly these: that the Government should receive a conveyance of these lands and of the rights attached to them at Nassau in return for the'maintenance of this dam. The dam was a wooden structure, and as time went on it became necessary to reconstruct it. There is so much leakage through it that the Canadian General Electric Company, which has acquired the dam from the Bank of Commerce, finds that the surplus water which . they are entitled to use for power purposes has been so seriously affected that they are now requiring the Government to carry out the terms of that agreement. The dam is in a state of disrepair so serious that it is affecting the power rights of the company, and the company unquestionably is taking a course which it has a right to take in insisting that the provisions of the agreement which was entered into' in 1896 be carried out.
There are some other items in the Estimates which I submit are very important, and for these reasons. In the city of Peterborough there are at present a number of flour mills with a large daily capacity. The Quaker Oats Company has a capacity of 8,000 barrels per day; Peterborough Cereal, 1,000 barrels per day; and the Campbell Flour Mills 750 barrels per day of food products, chiefly flour. We on the Trent waterway feel that it is very important that the canal be constructed through to Georgian bay so that the wheat may come down from Georgian bay at a cheaper rate to Peterborough, which is a milling centre, and to Campbellford. There are also a number of foundries located in Peterborough and Belleville. Midland is a town which for many years

has had for sale a large amount of pig iron, and that has been very expensive to obtain in these cities where the foundries are. So it is very important for the people of the cities of Peterborough and Belleville and the town of Campbellford, that a sum of money should be expended annually on this waterway in order that the construction may be completed, for it is only partially constructed at the present time.
The suggestion has been made that the tonnage carried is small. I would point out that there are numbers of fleets of gasoline launches plying along that waterway, and also steamboat lines, and I cannot for one moment believe that the tonnage carried by these gasoline boats is included in that 53,000 tons which has been given as the total tonnage carried through the canal, because these gasoline boats travel between various points along the waterway, for example, between Hastings and Peterborough, between Campbellford and east and south, and not through the whole canal, so I think the figure mentioned is not a fair estimate of the total tonnage carried along the waterway.
The waterway from Trenton to Georgian bay is about 200 miles long, owing to the connecting navigable rivers and extensive lakes in that country. On the other hand, there is a shore line of over 1,000 miles in this district along the waterway, and it serves a population larger than some of the provinces. Within ten miles of the shore line there are six million acres of forest, mineral and agricultural lands. Millions of feet of lumber are manufactured in the immediate district from the logs that come down through this waterway, and these dams are necessary in order to carry out the Government's agreement with the lumber companies to maintain water enough to float these logs in certain seasons of the year.
The Dominion Government entered into an agreement with the Ontario Government, which was confirmed by Order in Council on July 22, 1905, whereby the Dominion Government took over,, all the locks, dams, water rights, and the flooded lands in this whole watershed and area, and in return it was given by the Ontario Government all the property in these locks, swing bridges and other property which the Ontario Government owned and controlled. The Dominion Government was required to keep this reservoir area constructed, and is under covenant to do it to-day, for the purpose of keeping suffici-

ent water in the reservoirs for the purposes of the different lumber companies operating in the district. I submit, therefore, that it is very important that not only the Nassau dam construction should be carried on at the present time, but also that the rest of these works on which we have been spending money for some years should be carried on. The work has stood for a considerable length of time by reason of the war, which was a reason for delay in everything, but these works should now be gone on with in order to preserve the property.
There is one point to which I wish to direct the minister's attention, and that is the fair wage clause that is in the agreement between the contractor on the Nassau dam and the department. It is said that outside labour is being brought in from some of the large cities, 'and paid a very low wage, as low as 35 cents an hour, while the fair wage in Peterborough is 50 cents an hour. That is the rate which the city corporation and contractors generally are paying, yet the contractors on the dam, I understand, are bringing in men at 35 cents an hour. This is hardly fair to the unemployed in the city of Peterborough, of whom we have a number at the present time, and I think that there should be an investigation made by the minister to ascertain what wage is actually being paid by the contractor on the Nassau dam, and if he is not paying a fair wage, the matter should be reported to the Department of Labour, so that it can insist, under the fair wage clause, on a fair wage being paid to these men, the fair wage being the current wage in the city of Peterborough at the present time. I think also some attempt should be made to prevent bringing in from the large cities numbers of unemployed at 35 cents an hour, if that is taking place, and I am informed that it is. But I do urge upon hon. members, who are perhaps inclined to question the need of these expenditures at the present time, that there is a real necessity for them, because if this work is ever to be of any considerable value we must have a complete waterway from Georgian bay down to lake Ontario.


John Dowsley Reid: In these items there
is one large amount for Bobcaygeon lock. I have been there myself and I considered that the lock was in a very dangerous condition. I do not know whether hon. members know the situation, but we are proceeding with that work now for the
simple reason that the engineer is firmly of opinion that further delay would be disastrous. With regard to the question of wages, all contracts contain a fair wage clause, and if there is any trouble, complaint is usually made to the Minister of Labour, who investigates the matter and brings about an adjustment between the contractor and the employees.


George Gordon: I conferred with the
Minister of Labour to-day on this matter and he informed me that the usual practice was for the department in which any question of this kind arose to make the investigation, and if there were found to be any ground for complaint, then it was referred to him for determination. With reference to the Bobcaygeon lock, this structure for some years has been in a state of disrepair, and when I visited it last it was leaking and unquestionably required either to be renewed or to be reconstructed. I visited the locality a couple of months ago, and the engineers are extending the canal through the centre of the town along the old line of the canal, making it somewhat deeper, and broadening the lock to some extent. The town is partly torn up along the course of the canal, and it is absolutely necessary that the work should be completed, because at the present time the debris is all piled up about the streets and on the highways. I do not see what can be done but to go on and finish this work, which is one of the most essential public works that are required just now. The work at the Nassau dam also requires to be done, in view of the covenant of the Government with the Canadian General Electric.


Mr. McGIBBON (Muskoka):: I endorse the remarks of the member for Peterborough (Mr. Gordon) about completing this work, which has been under way for a great many years.


John Dowsley Reid: There is an item following this, dealing with completion work on the Trent canal. This item deals with improvements. If the hon. member intends to speak on the question of the completion of the canal he might wait for a few minutes.


John Archibald Campbell: The reason why I
suggested that these items which the minister mentions should be set out in the Estimates was that we might take them up one by one. It is quite possible that we might be satisfied to pass some of the items and not others. Personally, I am satis-


REVISED EDITION. COMMONS

fied that some of the work which the minister recommends is in order, but I am not at all satisfied that some of the rest of it should be proceeded with. Some of it can readily stand. It is difficult to decide just what to do in a case of this kind. We do not want to hold out against the whole item, and there is no way of deciding just what should be passed. It is quite probable that the Bobcaygeon item should go through, but with reference to some of the others, which I heard mentioned in a casual way and which I do not quite recollect at the moment, I think they could easily stand over until another year. The minister, the other day, intimated that his department was trying to follow a scheme of economy in connection with certain works which he said could not be carried out this season. Well, I submit that this is a case in which there is room for the exercise of that economy. I am not in a position to say just what items should stand, because the minister read them off too quickly for me to take them down. I had intended to make some remarks in regard to completing the canal, but from the minister's statement a few moments ago, I think it would be more proper to let this item stand until the item in connection with additional construction comes up. I understood the minister to say, a few days ago, that there was to be no more expenditure this year on additional construction on this canal. If that is not correct, then I must have misunderstood him.
John Dowsley Reid: Item 115 is for construction in connection with the Trent canal and the Welland canal. This item deals with repairs. The principal sums under this item are for the Nassau dam, Bobcaygeon lock and the Lakefield dam. The expenditure for the Bobcaygeon lock and dam is $205,000. This work is absolutely necessary if a washout is to be avoided, and it is under contract. For the Lakefield dam the expenditure will be $40,000, and for the Nassau dam $175,000. Now, the other expenditures are for the operation of the canal. Most of the money is for dams which the Dominion Government took over from the Ontario Government and must keep in repair. It is imperative that we keep these dams in repair, or we shall be liable in damages. I am not going into the question of the wisdom of the Dominion Government taking over these dams from the Government of Ontario, but they are under our control and we must take care of them. These other items are as follows:

Provision is included for continuing the operation of the gate building plant at Trenton where lock gates are being built for Bobcaygeon, Burleigh Palls, Fenelon Falls, Young's Point, and to replace those taken for Washago from the Ontario-Rice lake division spares-$215,000.
Many of the old timber dams transferred to this department by the Ontario Government for the purpose of the storage of water for log driving and to supply the canal and lake levels are in a decayed condition and the amount included is required to maintain and repair such structures for the above purpose-$25,000.
The Mississauga dam stores more than 30,000 actual feet of water on Mississauga, Catcha-cooia, Gold and Beaver lakes, being ones of the largest reservoirs On the system. It is important on account of the large storage and the fact that it discharges below the large Buckhorn area and is used to maintain the level of Stony lace and Otonabee flow before water may be brought in from the Gull and Burt River lakes. By Order in Council of February 16, 1906, the department undertook to maintain this dam for all time-$8,000.
Guard railings for river walls are necessary at certain points as a protection to the public against drowning. The total length of these railings will be 4,8'00 feet-$6,000.
It was suggested, on account of an accident or two happening, that chains should be placed along the water so that if a person should fall in he would have something to catch hold of. On account of the loss of life that had occurred it was decided to expend $6,000 for that purpose Now the next item:
The Scott'e Mills log slide situated on the Mississauga creek about two miles north of Buckhorn, which is in a dilapidated condition, appears on the list of dams transferred to this department by Order in Council, dated February 16, 1906, Item No. 1, Mississauga creek. It is one of the other dams not actually required by the Department for the reservoir system but is now utilized for the flotation of logs. According to the Order in Council referred to, it was to be maintained for so long as it is of material use for the purpose of log flotation. It is estimated that it will take 15 years at least to bring down the timber remaining on limits above this dam. The amount asked for will complete this work, $7,000.
The amount included for canal shops at Peterborough is for the purpose of building machine, blacksmith and woodworking shops for canal work, $8,0'00.
The item for miscellaneous works makes provision for rebuilding in concrete the superstructure of the upper entrance piers at Fenelon Falls, and above lock No. 19 at Peterborough a small shelter at Point Pleasant wharf; and a landing place in the canal at Frankford, $9,500.
The hon. member will see that these items of expenditure are absolutely necessary-in fact we are compelled to keep these works up; if we did not we would be liable for damages. These and other contracts are the result of an agreement between the Ontario Government and ourselves; we are compelled to make every

one of these expenditures although we have tried to keep them down as well as possible.


John Archibald Campbell: Is it necessary to complete that work at Bobcaygeon this year?


John Dowsley Reid: It is under contract
and we must complete the work this year.


George Gordon: The engines and pumps, and everything in connection with the work, are still running and it is simply impossible to leave it as it is at the present time -it would cause the loss of many thousands of dollars.


John Archibald Campbell: If it is simply the loss of many thousands of dollars that is involved I can point out to the minister many other instances in other parts of Canada where similar losses are being occasioned from a failure to proceed with public works. If it involves the loss of property and the loss of human life, that is another story altogether. There seem to be varying statements being made in connection with these works that we are now considering, and they do not by any means harmonize.


Thomas Vien: The last time these Estimates were under consideration I asked the minister for a statement as to the total disbursements required to carry out the whole scheme of improvements on the Trent canal. Can the minister give that information now?


John Dowsley Reid: That would come under the next item.


Thomas Vien: No.


John Dowsley Reid: Yes, this is only for the improvements.


Thomas Vien: Well, then I would ask the minister if the vote of $515,000 covers the whole of the improvements which the department proposes to carry out on the Trent canal? I do not speak of extensions, or constructions, or betterments-I have reference only to improvements.


John Dowsley Reid: The works in this item
are for repairs and renewals, and improvements in the old system. Until the old works which have been there for many years are put in proper condition there will be items of this kind from time to time, although probably not as large. This item has nothing to do with the completion of the canal through to the Georgian Bay.


Thomas Vien: I understand that.
187J


John Dowsley Reid: This item will really not complete all these repairs. I might probably explain the situation better by saying that we took over all the dams from the Ontario Government a few years ago, and we must maintain them and keep them in a proper stage of repair. Each year, if any of these works are out of repair so that they are not in a safe condition, we must ask for appropriations to repair them. There have been a very large number of dams taken over and we must keep them in proper condition.


Thomas Vien: I wish to draw the minister's attention to the fact that for improvements last year we were obliged to vote $427,000. This year we are called upon to vote $515,000, and I understand that the item covers only urgent repairs or renewals,- it does not provide for ex-
5 p.m. tensions at all. What is the total amount the minister expects the Dominion will have to expend in order to renew and repair the whole Trent canal system and put it in good condition? Has the department any estimate of the total cost of these repairs and renewals which we are asked to provide for under the title of improvements?


John Dowsley Reid: No, we have no statement of that kind and never have prepared one. We simply provide from year to year for whatever improvements may be required.


Thomas Vien: Does the minister think it will cost as much as $400,000 or $500,000 just for the upkeep of the works there?


John Dowsley Reid: I have not looked into that feature of the matter at all. It is only the' actual amounts required each year in connection with the operation of any canal system that are taken up and discussed.


George Gordon: May I ask the minister if any item is included in these Estimates to provide some safeguard against loss of life at the canoe slide in the lock south of the city of Peterborough where some loss of life has occurred? The canoe slide was constructed, of course, for the convenience of that special class of traffic, and perhaps it would have been better had no such provision ever been made. At present it is part of the concrete work in the lock, not the lift lock but the lock south of the city. I had some communication with the minister a couple of years ago when a young man lost his life there. It is a dangerous piece of work and has been commented on in the press. I also think

the council of the city of Peterborough have debated the matter and passed a resolution on the subject. It seems to me that only a small amount would be required to provide a safeguard which would render the slide less dangerous-that is some kind of a good iron railing or some safeguard that the department engineers might recommend so as to prevent the loss of life that is occurring at that point every summer, when hundreds and thousands of this class of pleasure craft go down through the canoe slide.


John Dowsley Reid: I do not think there is any provisions in this item for the purpose my hon. friend suggests. I agree with the hon. member that there are some places that are very dangerous, and the loss of even one life is a much more serious matter than the expenditure of money in providing safeguards. The hon. gentleman may have written me on this matter, but if so it has escaped my memory. However, I will take the matter up, and look into it, and see if something can be done.


Mr. CHISHOLM:: Are we to understand that every year we will have to make a contribution of half a million dollars to keep up this particular canal on which is handled only 50,000 tons of traffic?


John Dowsley Reid: No, I did not say that.


Alexander William Chisholm: Has the minister any idea when the expenditure of this extraordinarily large amount of money will cease to be necessary for repairs and upkeep of this canal? It seems to me that if the present expenditure is to continue for many years the best thing would be to take some dynamite up there.


John Dowsley Reid: When the Government took this canal over from the Ontario Government there were many old locks on the system in such a dilapidated condition that they must be renewed at some time or other. When they are renewed the only expenditure in connection with the operation of the system will be for keeping in repair the dams on the river, which work is also undertaken by the Dominion Government. As to what the expenditure on those dams will be, it is impossible to state definitely. They may last a number of years of needing repair or renewal.


John Archibald Campbell: Is the new lock at
Bobcaygeon larger than the old one?


John Dowsley Reid: A little larger, not a great deal. There are three more locks on that system that are very old, but they

may last some years yet. In the years to come there must be expenditure or, those locks.


Mr. KNOX:: When the minister was
enumerating the different expenditures which this item covered he mentioned among other things repairs to some dams, which he said were necessary so that logs might be conveyed on the waterways. In the western provinces, where the natural resources are still retained by the Federal Government, the lumbermen have to construct their own dams and keep the waterways in shape for running their logs. In view of this fact, I would like to know why it is that the Government is doing such work here.


John Dowsley Reid: As I explained a few minutes ago, the Dominion Government in 1905, took over from the Ontario Government all the dams on the Trent waterway and agreed to maintain them so that the lumbermen could float their logs through. The Ontario Government had made that agreement with the lumbermen. If we do not now keep those dams in repair we are liable for any damages that the lumbermen may sustain.


Mr. SEXSMITH:: Is it not necessary to keep those dams in repair for conservation purposes?


John Dowsley Reid: That was part of the scheme.


John Archibald Campbell: Does the agreement with the Ontario Government entail additional construction work by the Federal Government?	[DOT]


John Dowsley Reid: I have not the agreement here, but generally the Federal Government agreed to maintain the waterway so that it could be operated as it was prior to our taking it over.


John Archibald Campbell: But not to extend or enlarge it in any way?


John Dowsley Reid: I cannot say, I know we have to keep the system in order for operation.


Mr. REID (Mackenzie):: My hon. friend (Mr. Sexsmith) suggested that it is necessary to keep this canal in repair for transportation.


John Albert Sexsmith: For conservation purposes.


John Flaws Reid: And other purposes. In regard to transportation, we are told that 53,000 tons of freight went

through this canal at an annual operating cost of $97,000 for wages alone. I would rather see an item in the Estimates for the transportation free of charge on our railways of the traffic that is now being carried on this canal rather than keep this white elephant any longer. It is not an undertaking for the benefit of Canada generally, it is purely local, in fact almost a municipal undertaking. It is unfortunate that the Dominion Government should have put its head in a noose and been cinched up in this way by the Provincial Government.


John Dowsley Reid: The Dominion Government, rightly or wrongly, agreed to maintain this waterway, and to protect the flow of the waters. There is no way of getting over that agreement without paying damages. But in my judgment when this waterway is completed to the Georgian bay


Andrew Ross McMaster: How many miles remain to be built?


John Dowsley Reid: From the Georgian
bay end to Washago is about thirty miles. When I come to the next item I have a memorandum of what it will cost to complete this waterway through to Georgian bay.


George Gordon: An hon. member on this side of the House suggested a short time ago that this was a "white elephant." To indicate the importance of this waterway to this particular district, I may say that last October owing to a shortage of surplus water and consequent shortage of hydro-electric power local plants had to be closed down alternate days for about two weeks, which entailed a loss of nearly a million dollars, to the people of Peterborough alone. Thp only right which the Hydro-Electric Commission has is to use the surplus water going over these dams which is conserved by the various locks and dams in the whole system. That is an important feature, but it is only an incident, because the Government is required under its agreement with the province of Ontario and its agreement with the Canadian General Electric Company to keep those waters at a certain fixed level for navigation purposes so that the power users may avail themselves of the surplus waters conserved during the summer months. So if these dams and locks leak the navigation level will not be maintained, there will be no surplus for power users, and consequently the Dominion Government will be liable in damages.


Mr. KEEFER:: What is the amount of power produced on the Trent Valley
system?


John Dowsley Reid: One hundred and
twenty-five thousand horse-power.


John Albert Sexsmith: The hon. member
spoke about works for the general advantage of Canada. Well, the committee is aware that many railways are being built in the West which are supposed to be for the general advantage of Canada.


John Archibald Campbell: But they are not
being built.


John Albert Sexsmith: The work which we are now considering is just as much for the general advantage of Canada as many other undertakings that have been proceeded with. When it is completed I am convinced that it will be worth many millions to Canada every year. It is bringing thousands of dollars to that district at the present time by way of tourists. I do not care whether we get a dollar through selling our wheat or from a traveller who comes here to enjoy himself; it is all the same thing. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are brought into the country on account of that waterway; there is no doubt about it. Hon. gentlemen laugh, but it is a fact that a large part of the revenue of some of the states of the Union is derived through tourists. If a larger amount had been brought into this country last year through tourists, the conditions of exchange would be better than they are to-day. This waterway is not yet completed; there are twenty or thirty miles to be constructed. When that is done I think the House and the country will entertain a different opinion of it.


John Dowsley Reid: Another way in which this waterway will be of benefit to the whole country is in the development of power. There has been 125,000 horsepower developed by this waterway so far. Hon. members will agree that this power development will be of great assistance in the development of the natural resources in that particular locality. In addition, there is a large saving in the way of fuel.


Thomas Vien: What revenue do we derive from the power which is being developed?


John Dowsley Reid: The 125,000 horsepower has not all been harnessed as yet, but the Hydro-Electric Commission have some fifty or sixty thousand horse-power under lease which was given to the Sey-

mour Power Company fifteen or twenty years ago. The rates were low at that time.


Thomas Vien: But at present how much do we derive?


John Dowsley Reid: About $60,000 or $70,000, from the fifty or sixty thousand horse-power.


Thomas Vien: Is it the intention of the Government to harness the whole of the power?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes. We have taken it up with the Hydro-Electric Commission and they are carrying on the development of the power.


Thomas Vien: Under lease?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes, there is no trouble about that. They did question our power to collect, on account of the Ontario Government's claim, but they have abandoned that stand and are now paying rentals.


Mr. CANNON:: What is the period
covered by the lease?


John Dowsley Reid: I would not say just now. It is quite a long time.


Thomas Vien: Since the last sitting of the committee on these Estimates I have had the advantage of consulting with the chief engineer of the Railway Department, and I have become convinced of the necessity for the repairs covered by some of the items included in this vote. The chief engineer reports that for several years he has declined the responsibility for any accidents which may occur as a result of the present condition of the dam. But in my opinion it was an error to begin such a large public work-a work which up to the present has cost the country about $20,000,000 and which will involve an additional two or three millions before it is completed to Georgian Bay. I do not believe that the traffic in that district and the benefit derived by the people in that vicinity justify the expenditure. Of course, if we harness and sell the power developed by the dams we might in the long run be repaid, but if so the leases will have to be on a much more profitable basis. I would urge the minister to take action to increase his rentals, because at present they are out of proportion to the cost of maintaining the dams. Of course, the leases at present operating will have to be maintained until they expire. But the committee was informed at the last sitting that new leases are made out at the rate of from four to [Mr J. D. Reid.]
six dollars per horse-power. I think that is far too low; the department should get more than that. It would even pay them to develop the power and sell it themselves. The administration and management of an electric power development is different from the management of a railway; once the dams are built and the necessary machinery installed to convert the hydraulic energy into electrical energy, the amount necessary for upkeep is comparatively small. Such a source of revenue would compensate the country for the expenditure involved so far in this public work. But I would direct the attention of the committee to another matter. Last year we were called upon to vote for Trent canal improvements the sum of $427,000. This year the amount for improvements is $515,000, so that these improvements, repairs and renewals of the works cost about half a million dollars a year. At the next session I would like the minister to be in a position to inform the committee what, in the opinion of the department, will be required for the whole of the renewals m years to come. It seems to me that it would be an easy matter for the minister to have his engineers make a thorough survey of the whole work so that the committee may be in a position to judge what the country is committed to. If we are going to spend half a million dollars a year on improvements alone, not to speak of construction and betterments, which are covered by other items, we should go further into the matter and see what we can do to derive greater benefit from that work, or at least to lessen the expenditure which the country is compelled to vote every year. I would like the minister to give us the assurance that this information will be forthcoming next year-or, I should say, next session; for I do not believe the minister will have anything further to do with the matter after the next election. At any rate next session I should like the minister to give us the report of his engineers as to the state of the whole system and what repairs might be expected to be included in or covered by appropriations of Parliament in years to come.


John Dowsley Reid: I shall be glad to give a full report.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Welland canal-improvements, $165,000.
Thomas Vien: Might I suggest, if this is
agreeable to the minister, that we should

take up the other item of Trent canal construction and betterments?


John Dowsley Reid: There is no objection,
with this exception. This item is simply for the carrying on of improvements to the Welland canal. The next item which I intend to take up comprises Welland ship canal construction and Trent canal construction and betterments. As this item is simply for carrying on the operation of the Welland canal, I thought we could have a full discussion on the next item as regards the construction of the Welland canal and the Trent canal. These are the details of improvements to the Welland canal: The first item is to complete repairs to east pier and to make repairs to west pier, Port Dalhousie harbour, $25,000. That is from the entrance on lake Ontario to the Welland canal. That was damaged by a storm and it must be repaired. The second item is for replacing ten old canal lock gates with reinforced concrete gate bars, $15,000. Stone protection is to be provided along certain portions of the summit level between Thorold and Port Colborne, $50,000. The temporary wooden highway bridge over upper recess, Dunnville lock, and wooden swing highway bridge over Feeder Junction lock, south of Welland, are to be replaced with fixed bridges of reinforced concrete, $10,000. The next is to replace composite swing highway bridges over locks Nos. 1 and 3, new canal, with moveable steel bridges having reinforced concrete floors, $40,000. Then it is proposed to install Gowan safety device on upper gates at four locks, $12,000. The last item is unforeseen expenses for slides, etc., $13,000. That makes a total of $165,000 in connection with the operation of the canal and keeping it in proper condition.


Alexander William Chisholm: Are these new
bridges?


John Dowsley Reid: New bridges to replace old ones which have got into such a condition that they must be renewed. The amounts are small.


John Flaws Reid: Is this for repairs-not for any further construction?


John Dowsley Reid: This is all for repairs
and improving the canal.


John Flaws Reid: It is more in the way of replacements of already existing construction?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes.


John Flaws Reid: I notice that this item is chargeable to income. With huge deficits on our railroads and no tolls on our canals, where is the income?


John Dowsley Reid: Repairs and renewals have always been put in as "chargeable to income." There is the other expenditure for capital where the work is in the nature of an extension. This method was started many years ago in order to keep separate capital account and the account for carrying on the operation of the canals. At the time that that account was established, there was a charge on all traffic through the canals, but that charge was done away with a number of years ago. This method of keeping the accounts has been continued so that there may be no difficulty in keeping the two forms of expenditure separate.


John Flaws Reid: Seeing that there are now no tolls on canals, would it not be better to put this expenditure under a different head from that of "chargeable to income"?


John Dowsley Reid: There is quite an income from water-powers. Along the Welland canal, there are quite a number of water-powers from which quite a large revenue is collected, so that we are justified in putting this item under the heading of "chargeable to income."


John Flaws Reid: What is that income?


John Dowsley Reid: The annual report of
the Department of Railways and Canals gives the details of every source of income. The rents, hydraulic and other rents, collected last year, amounted to $72,366.45 from the Welland canal and $5,461.67 from the Welland ship canal, or about $78,000.


Thomas Vien: As we voted last year $150,000 for improvements, and as we are voting $165,000 this year for the same purpose, what is the Estimate of the department as to the total anticipated improvements that will be required?


John Dowsley Reid: A wash-out or a storm or something of that kind might occur that would cause more than the ordinary repairs. This item is a case in point where a storm caused damages at Port Dalhousie harbour, which damage was unforeseen. It would be impossible to make such an Estimate as the hon. member asks.


Thomas Vien: Will this item of $165,000 put in good order the constructed part of the Welland canal?


John Dowsley Reid: It will put it in good order for the present unles there is another accident.


Thomas Vien: If I understand the minister aright, if there are no storms and no accidents, we shall have no item for improvements next year.


John Dowsley Reid: In the carrying on of the operation of each canal system, you must have repairs each and every year on account of the traffic through the canal.


Mr. POWER:: Do storms get bigger in a year when an election is expected to be held?


John Dowsley Reid: Not this year.


Alexander William Chisholm: What is the traffic on the Welland canal?


John Dowsley Reid: As given in the report of the Department of Railways and Canals, the total tonnage of freight moved through the Welland canal is 2,170,779 tons.


Lucien Cannon: What is the total
revenue of all the canals?


John Dowsley Reid: I gave the revenue of the Welland canal a few minutes ago. The canals are free to vessels passing through them. I gave the revenue for water-powers, and that is practically the only revenue, with the exception of some small rents for leases of land along the canal.


Lucien Cannon: Does the minister mean that after we have expended these enormous sums in constructing and keeping the canals in repair we get no revenue from them?


John Dowsley Reid: I mean that the policy was adopted about fifteen or twenty years ago that all the' canals of the Dominion should be free. We maintain and operate them free for the use of vessels passing through.


Lucien Cannon: What is the idea of keeping them free? Why should not the Government charge tolls on these canals? If the policy of no tolls is good concerning the canals, why not apply it also to the railways? It would not make our railway deficit any bigger. Why not have free harbours? It seems to me there is absolutely no sense in this policy. Why spend millions of dollars in opening up canals and keeping them in repair, and not charge anything to the users? That is socialism and I wish to direct the attention
[Mr. Vien.a
of my hon. friend the Minister of Justice (Mr. Doherty) to that. He is a Tory of the old school, and I do not believe he would approve of this policy. It is more than socialism, I do not think the Russian Government would adopt such a policy, of expending millions upon canal construction and maintenance, and then not charge anything to the users. .


John Dowsley Reid: I would hardly like to admit that that was socialism. This policy was adopted about fifteen or twenty years ago by the Government of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and I believe it was the right policy.	I do not think there was any
socialism in it at all.


Lucien Cannon: Not at that time.


John Dowsley Reid: The reason why it was adopted was to prevent the traffic from the West and other parts of Canada going by the Erie canal and through United States ports. The United States Government made all their canals free, and if we had .not adopted the same policy, the traffic would have gone via Buffalo anc American ports. That was the reason given for our adopting the policy then, and I believe the same reason still holds good to-day. I believe it is in the interests of Canada that we should keep our traffic on our own waterways.


Lucien Cannon: I understand the minister's position. As Minister of Canals, he is in favour of opening up canals and keeping them in good repair so as to handle the traffic from the West. In his capacity as Minister of Railways, he is in favour of keeping up the port of Portland in the United States so as to get the traffic from the West. How can the minister reconcile these two policies? How can he as Minister of Canals come into this House and ask us as the representatives of the people to vote millions of dollars for maintaining these canals so that we may get Canadian traffic, and then, to-morrow or the day after, come into this House as Minister of Railways and ask us for money to repair the port of Portland in the United States? I do not think his position is very logical, and I would ask him to explain how he can defend both policies at the one time.


Mr. LALOR:: Perhaps the hon. gentleman does not understand this question as well as some hon. members who, like myself, live along the Welland canal. These

free tolls mean that we are carrying the wheat of our Agrarian friends down here free.


Francis Henry Keefer: Let me give an illustration that has arisen in one of our committees. Montreal for the last three or four years has been depending for its fuel supply particularly on Pennsylvania coal. That is brought in by water; if it is brought in by rail, it is much more expensive. The freight'rate on coal by water to-day from Lake Erie ports to Montreal is from $2 to $2.25 a ton. Now with the enlarged Welland canal, which is being built, and which I hope will soon he finished, and with the St. Lawrence canal built, there is no reason why the boats that are at present carrying the fuel for the Canadian National Railways and the Canadian Pacific to the extent of 2,000,000 tons, up to the head of the lakes and also around to Georgian Bay ports could not also go to Montreal for the benefit of the Montreal people. The fuel is taken to the head of the lakes for twenty-five, thirty or forty cents a ton,-fifty cents was the maximum during the war. It is a distance of 900 miles, and is a four or five days' trip. Surely, if the canal was built, that boat could go to Montreal, even if it had to come back light, for twice the rate to Port Arthur or Fort William; in other words, for eighty or ninety cents a ton. There is a loss to Montreal to-day of $1.50 a ton on every ton of coal she gets.


Lucien Cannon: That coal comes from the United States?


Francis Henry Keefer: That is the difficulty. Nova Scotia coal is so high. They are asking $8.10 per ton for Nova Scotia coal delivered in Montreal, whereas it used to be delivered in Montreal from Nova Scotia for about $3 per ton.


Thomas Vien: In what way would the Welland canal cheapen the price of coal to the people Of Montreal?


Francis Henry Keefer: It would cheapen it $1.50 per ton in this way. You cannot to-day take the coal to Montreal that we take on the upper lakes with ships carrying only
2,000	or 3,000 tons. We take the coal to the upper lakes in boats of 8,000 to 10,000 tons, because the canal at the Soo is large enough to accommodate them.


Lucien Cannon: Where do these vessels come from?


Francis Henry Keefer: From Buffalo, Ashtabula and other Lake Erie ports.


Lucien Cannon: That reduction in price would be in favour of American coal as against Canadian coal. I had understood that my hon. friend was a protectionist.


Francis Henry Keefer: I am a protectionist, and we are to-day paying 53 cents a ton in Ontario for the benefit of Nova Scotia coal.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Why are you doing it?


Francis Henry Keefer: Let us face the facts. Nova Scotia coal is costing so much to-day that it cannot compete with American coal, even with the 53 cents advantage in exchange.


Thomas Vien: You prefer competition and an open market?


Francis Henry Keefer: We prefer to protect our own industries, but we do not want to pay through the nose for it altogether. Coming now to the question of wheat, in which our friends from the West are interested, the question has been asked why these canals are free, why they are not paying a revenue. They are paying a revenue to the whole people of Canada, to every man who produces an article or a pound of goods in this country.


John Archibald Campbell: Those people are paying the revenue.


Francis Henry Keefer: No, they are getting the benefit of it. The price of the wheat of the Northwest is governed by the Liverpool market, and the price the farmer gets is the difference between that market price and the cost of getting it there. If you reduce the cost of getting it there, you put just that much money in the farmer's pocket. So, if we put a toll on the canals, it would mean the farmer would have to pay that toll. I say, therefore, that these canals are to-day paying the people of Canada well. They are paying the producers, and the same thing applies to the manufacturers of the East. Their prices are governed in the same way that I have mentioned as regards wheat. If you lower the transportation charge, it is just that much advantage to the manufacturer and to the people of Canada. The people of England to-day are realizing that the closing of many canals that have been shut up by the railways is a great loss to the country. If those canals were still in operation the people would be better able to control1 the railway rates. This question of free tolls is of particular interest to Montreal, because the people of that city have

been losing $1.50 a ton on every ton of coal they buy on account of the lack of facilities to transport that coal.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: This is an interesting
discussion and I am sorry that I missed the first part of it. I have listened to the explanation given by my hon. friend from Port Arthur (Mr. Keefer), and also to the lucid explanation given by the minister in respect of these charges, and the whole subject is very interesting. There may possibly be something to say for making no charges on the passage of vessels through canals like the Welland canal, where it is necessary to complete with rail connections to the United States ports. For, my part, I do not think that the argument is a very sound one. I think there is a good deal to say in favour of the argument that every vessel that passes through a canal should pay a toll, but in the case of the Welland canal it is true that something may be said on the other side. But I should like to know what on earth can be advanced in support of the argument that there should be no tolls on the Trent Valley canal or on the Rideau canal. The Trent Valley canal has cost this country, if my information is correct, about $20,000,000 or thereabouts, and we are asked now to vote thousands of dollars to keep it up. There are necessary repairs to be considered, wages to employees, and so forth; all these things must be taken care of, and they cost money. I should be glad if my hon. friend would give me his attention, because I want to ask him a question. I want to know why I, as a Manitoban, or a Western Canadian, should be taxed by this Parliament in order that some people living along the route of the canal should pass through with their motor yachts and pleasure boats, happy and content, free of charge.


Francis Henry Keefer: You are willing to make a concession on the Welland canal, which is of benefit to you. Why should not the people of these other canals be given the same concession?


Thomas Alexander Crerar: On your own argument the Welland canal is of general benefit to the whole of Canada.


Francis Henry Keefer: Particularly to the western producer.	.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: Not particularly to the
western producer any more than to the eastern manufacturer. My hon. friend knows that. If there are good and valid reasons why this Parliament should pay interest on a $20,000,000 investment, and

vote thousands of dollars a year to maintain the canal, and get no revenue from it, then I submit that there is a splendid argument in that fact for the completion of the Hudson Bay railway, say, to Hudson bay, and its operation at a loss of between $150,000 and $200,000 a year. One argument is as good as the other. We should endeavour to be consistent in these things throughout, and I respectfully suggest to the minister that he free himself from tradition and past customs which apparently are now binding him, according to his own statement, and break out on' a real business policy in the administration of the canals. I do think that it is altogether wrong that the whole population of Canada, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, should be asked to pay taxes to support the Trent Valley canal if it is of benefit only to the people living immediately along it. And the same is true of many other canals. It is not a business-like proceeding at all, and I hope the minister will change his policy.


John Dowsley Reid: I can hardly agree that the Trent canal or the Rideau canal is of as little value as the member suggests. The hon. member takes the position that the Trent canal is good only for motor boats. As I stated on a previous occasion, in the Trent canal we have 125,000 horse-power developed, so that if we did spend $20,000,000 upon the canal, it was well worth it for the water-power alone.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: Is this country getting
any benefit from that 125,000 horse-power?


John Dowsley Reid: Certainly.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: How much?


John Dowsley Reid: We get a revenue of $60,000 from 50,000 harnessed horsepower which is used, and we should get a great deal more but for the fact that leases were granted ten or fifteen years ago at a very low rental. Some hon. members ask why we do not increase the rental. Well, we do not for the simple reason that these leases were given for a term of 21 years, renewable for two more terms, or a period of 63 years. We shall get a greater revenue, however, as they harness the remaining available horse-power. From the hon. member's statement it would appear that only motor boats go through the canal. I want to tell him that the Trent canal is of great value to Peterborough and other towns along its course, and the 50,000 tons of freight carried through it will increase. Now, if it is fair, as I believe it is, that there should be free

tolls on the Welland canal which is of benefit to all parts of the country, particularly the West, is it not fair that the people living along the Trent canal should have the same advantage?


Lucien Cannon: The minister mentions the town of Peterborough. Is that the place where a storm occurred recently?


Thomas Vien: In February last.


John Dowsley Reid: Yes, but the storm did not do much damage at Peterborough. In any event, any damage done will be repaired at the next election.


Mr. COPP:: Is the damage chargeable to income or capital?


John Dowsley Reid: It will be chargeable to capital.	*


Mr. ARCHAMBAULT:: Is this particular item for repairs?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes.


Peter McGibbon: The member for Marquette (Mr. Crerar), has given us a good example of his fairness in the argument he has advanced. He is quite willing to take everything that is beneficial to the West, but he is not willing to reciprocate in favour of the East.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: I said nothing to that effect.


Peter Robert McGibbon: That is a perfect inference from his remarks. I wonder if he thinks that the consumer in the East derives as much benefit from free tolls as the consumer in the West? I will admit that the manufacturer in the East may get some benefit-


An hon. MEMBER:: Not much.


Peter Robert McGibbon: -but probably little. The balance, however, is altogether in favour of the man in the West. The hon. member's argument is perfectly unfair and unsound. Does he think that the revenue, not only present but perspective, from the electrical power developed along this canal is not worth something? Does he not think that the great tourist traffic that has developed along that canal as well as in other parts of Canada is worth something? I am credibly informed that last year the tourists along the Trent Valley canal left over $1,000,000.


Lucien Cannon: In the canal?


Peter Robert McGibbon: And I heard the
statement, made by a very responsible man at a Board of Trade meeting not long ago, that tourist trade in Canada was worth to-day more than the whole wheat crop of this country. Does the hon. member think that that is something not worth cultivating? Or does he think it can be brushed aside as being of no consequence?


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: The tourist traffic is not going to go by the Trent canal any more.


Peter Robert McGibbon: That is where you do not know what you are speaking about.


Lucien Cannon: It will go by Quebec.


Peter Robert McGibbon: Last year, in the upper part of this canal, where they had to bring boats up by marine railways, thousands of boats came up even under such difficulties. When that canal is completed to Georgian bay we are going to tap one of the greatest sources of revenue, in the matter of tourist traffic, on the continent of America.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: You cannot tap anything in Ontario for the tourist traffic.


Peter McGibbon: We may not be able to tap their supplies but we can tap trade.


Francis Henry Keefer: Put a pipe line through from Quebec.


John Flaws Reid: Could the hon. member tell us where the Muskoka lakes are?


Peter McGibbon: They are not on the Trent Valley canal, but I am not so shortsighted as to be unable to see something beneficial to the country even if it does not directly affect Muskoka. In that respect I differ from the hon. gentleman who made that observation. I say again, Mr. Chairman, that this project has a prospective value to Canada that this Parliament evidently has no conception of to-day. We already receive a revenue of $78,000 a year from the water-powers on this system alone, and they are not nearly all harnessed up yet. Furthermore, there are thousands of men in the city of Peterborough who are more or less directly employed through the agency of this undertaking.


Lucien Cannon: At election time.


Peter McGibbon: Not only
at election time but all the year round. I want to say further, that it is time to stop haggling across the floor as to what is

good for the East and what is good for the West; we must open our eyes a bit and see what is good for Canada. I persist, Mr. Chairman, in urging the Government to complete this undertaking. It has been in contemplation for, something over a hundred years. Both parties in this House are committed to it, and time after time, session after session, parliament after parliament, it has been discussed. It has not yet been completed, and until the work is finished the country will not derive'the full benefit from it that it should get once these vessels are able to run right through to the Georgian bay.


Georges Henri Boivin: Arguments concerning the Welland and Trent canals would be much more in order under the item to be taken up immediately after eight o'clock. The suggestion now is that item No. 125 (Welland: Improvements, $165,000) be allowed to pass and that the hon. member for Marquette (Mr. Crerar) be allowed to reply when the other item is being considered.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: No, it is six o'clock.


Mr. ARMSTRONG (Lambton):: Would
the question of tolls and rates be open for discussion on the other item?


Georges Henri Boivin: The entire question will be open in connection with the construction of the Welland and Trent canals.


John Archibald Campbell: Is the discussion
going on immediately after eight o'clock.


John Dowsley Reid: Yes.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
At Six o'clock the committee took recess.
After Recess
The Committee resumed at Eight o'clock.
Canals-Welland ship canal, construction, $5,000,000 ; Trent canal, construction and betterments, $339,000.
Alexander William Chisholm: Will the minister
explain?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes. This money is
to be expended on the Welland canal as follows: section 1, $700,000; section 2, $800,000; section 3, $1,500,000; section 5, $600,000. Then for gravel which we furnish, $78,000; sand $112,000; cement, $745,000; metal work for locks and so forth, $50,000; engineering staff, $325,000; [DOT] construction railway staff, $90,000. Contracts were let on these four sections prior

to the war, and on each a good deal of work had been done; then they were closed down during the war, but we started the work again to provide labour for returned men in that locality. We carried the work on for a couple of years on a cost plus basis, for the reason that labour, materials and supplies were so high that it was useless to call for tenders. Now we have decided to continue the work under contract if reasonable prices can be secured.
Mr.	CAMPBELL:	The	old	contracts
have expired?


John Dowsley Reid: We settled with the
contractors for work that had been done up to the time we cancelled the contracts.
Mr.	CAMPBELL:	Did	you	open up
those contracts or let	new ones?


John Dowsley Reid: No, we started on a
cost plus basis. It cost us a good deal of money to close up the contracts, and also to start them up again.
Mr.	CAMPBELL:	But	the	contracts
were closed?


John Dowsley Reid: They were closed and
the contractors settled with.


John Archibald Campbell: I ask this question
because I was told a few minutes ago those contracts were never cancelled.


John Dowsley Reid: They were cancelled.


John Archibald Campbell: When you started
again you did not start on those contracts but on a cost plus basis, a new basis entirely?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes, we resumed the
work that had been done under contract and not nearly completed, but we started it on a cost plus basis, and we are carrying it on that way at present. Last December we decided that as probably prices of labour, materials and supplies would be down this spring we would be justified in returning to a contract basis. Accordingly instructions were given to the chief engineer and his staff to prepare plans and specifications as soon as each section was ready to call for tenders. Tenders have been received for section 5, and we will accept the lowest tender on a contract instead of on a cost plus basis.


John Archibald Campbell: These tenders do not seem to have been accepted.


John Dowsley Reid: They do not need to be accepted if we close the work down or proceed on a cost plus basis.


John Archibald Campbell: Is there any reason why the work should not be closed down? It is altogether new work.


John Dowsley Reid: No. We expect to have the other two or three sections ready in a few weeks for tender, and if the prices quoted are reasonable we will let contracts for those sections. Answering the hon. member, there are several reasons why the work should not be closed down. It cost us a lot of money to close the work down during the war. Then we had to start it up again on account of the labour situation.


John Archibald Campbell: What year was that?


John Dowsley Reid: That was after the Armistice, I think in February.


John Archibald Campbell: Did not the minister find a great deal of difficulty in getting labour that year?


John Dowsley Reid: There has been trouble right along. To close the work down again costs money, and unless we protect the work that has already been done there will be earth shoves and extra expenditures will be involved in removing the earth and keeping the work in proper condition.


John Archibald Campbell: Have not other works in the minister's department been closed down in the last couple of years?


John Dowsley Reid: I will be very glad to answer the hon. member if he will kindly let me finish my statement. Of course, if he insists I am ready to answer him now.


John Archibald Campbell: No, that is all right.


John Dowsley Reid: Another reason for continuing the work is that when the canal is completed instead of twenty-eight locks there will be only five and vessels of a cargo capacity of 300,000 to 500,000 bushels, although they will be able to go through only a 14-foot draft, will carry very much larger cargoes than are possible through the old canal.


John Archibald Campbell: Where will they go to?


John Dowsley Reid: Down to Kingston,
which is only a day's run to Montreal, where the grain is transhipped. So that is also an advantage. I am sorry to have to admit it, but at the present time labour conditions are such that if we can possibly carry on works that it would be a loss to close down we should carry them on, and I may say that right in the Niagara peninsula to-day there is a lot of unemployment. Those are reasons why at all events these contracts where half completed should be completed at a time when great benefits
will be derived both during the course of the work and after its completion.


Mr. DAVIS:: When shall we reap the benefit accruing from larger cargoes of grain going through this canal?


John Dowsley Reid: These particular contracts will probably take three or four years to complete.


Fred Langdon Davis: I mean the whole canal.


John Dowsley Reid: If we like to spend the money and rush the work it could be done in three or four years, but it would take a larger amount of money each year than I think we would be justified in spending under present conditions.


John Archibald Campbell: How much money is
involved in the completion of each of these canals?


John Dowsley Reid: The original estimate
in respect to the Welland canal was, I think, $50,000,000. That is the total amount required to complete the work and make the canal of sufficient depth to accommodate vessels of nearly 25-foot draft and of a very large tonnage. The present capacity of the canal so far as wheat is concerned is for vessels of about 75,000 or
100.000	bushels; when it is completed vessels with a capacity of 300,000 or
400.000	bushels will be able to pass through the canal. I remember when the rate of freight on grain from Chicago down through the Welland canal was 20 cents a bushel, and at that time the vessels going through the canal carried only about 20,000 bushels. The government of the day decided to enlarge the canal so that it would accommodate vessels carrying 100,000 bushels, and it was then thought that that capacity would be sufficient for fifty years. However, it was ultimately found to be too small; a much larger capacity was required. The cost of fuel is the only additional consideration affecting the rate of freight when you have larger vessels. I can remember when, prior to the war, the rates were five and six cents a bushel from Port Arthur to Montreal. In my opinion, with the enlarged canal the rates from Port Arthur and Fort William to Montreal will go away down. From Kingston down the rate used to be about a cent and a half a bushel and the rate from Port Arthur to Kingston was three or four cents a bushel. Of course, during the last six or seven years the rates have gone up very considerably, chiefly on account of the war, with its accompanying increased cost of

tonnage and increased cost of operation by way of labour and fuel and other necessary supplies. I think that this year the rate is commencing to get back to normal, and I am in hopes that before the end of the present season the West will enjoy rates as they were before the war. The rates from Port Arthur and Fort William have been materially reduced as compared with those of last year. The last rate that I was aware of before this evening from Port Arthur to Montreal was eleven and a half cents a bushel, but my officials have now handed me a memorandum showing the latest rate to Port Colborne to be two to three cents per bushel and from Port Colborne to Montreal, six to eight cents. Several years ago the Government built an elevator at Port Colborne in order that the grain might be brought through our own St. Lawrence route at as low a rate as possible. Now% if we had the Welland canal in its completed state it should not take more than an additional half-cent on the Port Colborne rate to deliver that grain or traffic of any kind at Kingston, "where transshipment would take place. If wages and fuel were as they were before the war, the rate should not be more than the pre-war rate, one and' a half cents a bushel.


John Archibald Campbell: What would the rate be from Kingston to Montreal?


John Dowsley Reid: At present there is no transshipment at Kingston. Before the elevator was built all the grain that came through the St. Lawrence was shipped via the Welland canal to Kingston and there transshipped, but since the construction of the elevator at Port Colborne the large vessels have carried the grain to that port, where transshipment has been made.


John Archibald Campbell: That elevator will be of no use, then, when the Welland canal is completed.


John Dowsley Reid: No, when the Welland canal is completed that elevator will practically be of no use, except for local work in the district, of course, as an investment it will be worth something in that way. The Maple Leaf Milling Company have their large milling industry there, with an elevator of their own. They distribute a lot of wheat in that district, and probably the same would apply to the Government elevator. Now, in my opinion this expenditure is justified on the ground of the great advantage which will result through the completing of this work, first, to the
[Mr J. D. Reid.]
West, in having their grain transported at the very cheapest rate, and, second, to the East in respect of other traffic. Cargoes coming from across the ocean and destined for the West will go through the Welland canal, and the West will get the benefit of cheaper rates. It is evident, I should think, to those who are in the West and, of course, to those who are in the East that, from the time of the opening of navigation until its close, most of the traffic goes by rail and then across from Georgian bay ports through to Port Arthur or Fort William. The large vessels which are on the lakes can carry the freight cheaply, and the proportion of freight that goes all-rail is freight that can pay higher rates and probably freight that it does not pay to rehandle. But freight from the East should go in vessels right through by the water route, because water transportation is much cheaper than transportation by rail.


Fred Langdon Davis: In order that the questions which I know are going to be propounded to the minister with regard to these items may be considered as neither factious nor sectional in character, it is, perhaps, well that the committee should understand the feeling that is pretty well disseminated over Western Canada with regard to the Welland canal. We feel, as regards the Welland canal, first of all, that you have started at the wrong end of the proposition, because you will have to revise your estimated cost of expenditure from $50,000,000 to probably $75,000,000 on account of the change that has taken place in the cost of material and labour; in the second place, that unless you have a system of canals along the St. Lawrence, you will still have to transship any grain which is brought down to lake Ontario and, in consequence, you cannot compete with the Erie canal. All that you are going to do by the completion of the Welland canal is to allow the grain to come down and go out by way of the Erie canal, thereby putting Montreal and Quebec interests at the disadvantage which will come from, perhaps, a generation of going in that didirection. More than that, until you have shipping coming into Montreal and cargoes being carried both ways, you cannot take your grain to Montreal. At present the grain goes to New York, as we all know, where it can get practically bottom rates to go out, and at Montreal it cannot get that; the shipping does not come to Montreal to take the grain out. Last year we had com-

plaints that ninety odd million bushels of our crop went by way of New York while a very small proportion went out by way of Montreal and Quebec. You will simply increase the disadvantageous position of our Canadian ports by the completion of the Welland canal before you make any improvements on the St. Lawrence to give you the full advantage of carrying the grain down to Montreal and Quebec for transfer in those ports directly to the ships. On account of this feeling, there was before six o'clock considerable comment which went off in a discussion that was, perhaps, not very pleasant. Accusations of sectionalism in regard to the matter were made. The criticism of this proposition is not wholly upon that ground. Perhaps I might admit this much, that the hon. member for Nelson (Mr. Campbell) and myself, "who have been very much interested in the Hudson bay proposition, have been more or less disappointed in seeing forwarded propositions which are practically identical with that of the Hudson bay route, identical in this respect, that one of them is up in the air as the Hudson bay proposition is today; it goes out into a district that is a wilderness and it does not connect. We say that that is practically what the Welland canal is going to do and what the Trent canal is doing to-day. Those canals do not connect and they cannot connect for years so that through traffic may go on them. You will have to spend millions on those canals before you can get a service sufficient to justify any part of the expenditure. With that admission, which is, perhaps, more fair to my opponents in the matter than it needed to be, I want to come back to the first point that our opposition is neither factious nor sectional in character, but is because we sincerely distrust the manner in which the proposition has been gone about.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: Before
six o'clock we were dealing with the questions of tolls, rates and charges. Certain statements were made which I take the privilege of disputing; at least, I hope to place before the committee a few facts and figures in regard to the tolls and rates. If we are going to continue allowing vessels on our inland waters to make whatever charges they please, we might just as well apply the tolls and take a portion of the money, because the committee can depend upon it that these vessels, until they are put under government control, will collect to the very last cent from the producer and the consumer in this country.
There is not a doubt in my mind, and I am more convinced than ever, that they are to-day and have been for years past collecting the very limit of what they can collect in connection with their charges on our inland waters. The hon. member for Port Arthur and Kenora (Mr. Keefer) would lead the committee to believe that the price of grain is established at Liverpool. That is quite right; but it is also true that the producer in this country has to pay the rate of freight between his home town and Liverpool, and rates of freight, especially on our inland waters, are beyond all reason. Let me call attention to the position that was taken by the hon. member for Port Arthur and Kenora. He gave the committee to understand that by making large expenditures of money, they would have decreased freight rates from the West. What has been the story of these rates for years past? It has been that, instead of there being a decrease the rates have been constantly increasing; they have been doubled, trebled and quadrupled, and this Government is powerless to control the vesselmen.


Francis Henry Keefer: What is the freight rate to-day from the head of the lakes to Port Colborne? It is only two cents.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: The
hon. member for Port Arthur and Kenora asks the question. His minister just told the committee a few minutes ago that the rate was two or three cents. Does the committee think these vessels are not going to charge the three-cent rate? The committee can depend upon it that they will. But the hon. member did not tell the committee what the rate was to Montreal. The minister told us that the rate to Montreal had been reduced to 11 cents. It is true that last year the rates were down for a portion of the time when there was very little traffic, such as there is at present, to between 11 or 12 cents, but he did not tell the committee that in certain months of the year the rates were as high as 15J cents for the carrying of wheat from the West. How can a farmer in the western provinces expect, under existing conditions, to be taxed to the limit when he can get only a small amount of money for his grain? There is no doubt in my mind that the time has come when the Government should take action in this regard, and when we Should have Government control over rates, tolls, tariff agreements and arrangements of these vesselmen. The more money you spend, the higher go the

rates-that has been the story in connection, with these vesselmen for years past.
You say that you have control of the railways as regards rates, and the greatest howl went up in our country a little while ago when the Railway Commission increased the rates on our railways. I believe their action in that regard was an honest attempt on their part to make the railways at least pay their way. But what about this other great transportation system that is running alongside of this railway system of ours, that can double or treble its rates without any control being exercised over it? These vesselmen are charging the producer and the consumer the limit in this regard and I sincerely hope that before this season goes by, the Minister of Railways and Canals will see to it that some of the boats that are owned by the Government are placed on the lakes and put in a proper condition to be a competing factor in the transportation facilities on our inland waters. I do not wish to take up any more of the time of the committee. I appreciate the fact that we have to complete the Welland canal, but I feel very keenly over the fact that we are pouring money into these canals, harbours, rivers, docks and piers throughout Canada without our having a word to say in regard to what the vessel men shall do or charge. The vessels come up the canals and blow their whistles, and our men, paid by the people of this country, rush to open the locks in order that the vessels may pass through. If the canals need any repairs, we repair them. We are constantly doing this, and yet we have no control. I feel that the time is not far distant when we shall have control.


John Archibald Campbell: Did I understand my hon. friend to say that the rate from Port Arthur to Montreal was 15 cents, and the rate from Port Arthur to Port Colborne 3 cents? That would make it 12 cents from Port Colborne to Montreal.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: If I remember rightly the statistics show that they carried the grain in the month of September last for a rate that went as high as that. I do not say that that was the charge all through the season, and I am quite satisfied that the minister is not in. a position to say that 11 cents is going to be the charge all through this season. He cannot do it;_ he has no power to do it; he is helpless, because the Government have no control over these vessels or over the

rates they charge. I think there is no question that the rate will be more than 11 cents before the year is over.


John Dowsley Reid: So far as the rates
last season are concerned, I can hardly believe that there was a rate of 15 cents. I wired the other day for the rates from Port Colborne. However, with reference to the rate I gave a few moments ago for the present season, there is no question that that is the rate, and that. 111 cents was the highest rate from Port Arthur through.
There are two ways in which we can control the rates. I am sufficiently interested in this matter to want to see the rates from Port Arthur and Fort William to Montreal, and vice versa, just as low as possible consistent with giving the' vessel owners a fair profit, and I think every man in the House will admit that an investment of that kind should have a reasonable return. Let me say to the hon. member that it was brought to my attention a few weeks ago that the rates were very high last year, and in order to see what the situation would be for the present year, I took the matter up with the steamship companies. I made up my mind that so far as the Department of Railways and Canals was concerned, and had power, we would see that the rates from Fort William and Port Arthur to Montreal, as quoted by vessel owners, were justified, and I took the means that have been suggested by the hon. member for Lambton (Mr. Armstrong) of stating that the Government had twenty or thirty vessels, of Welland canal size, that were built in inland waters, and that if we were to be imposed upon by any combine I would feel justified in asking the Government to allow some of these steamships to be used to transfer grain between Port Colborne and Montreal. But there is not a combine. The shipping is not all in the hands of one company. There are two or three lafge companies, each with a large number of vessels, competing for this traffic, and I take it for granted that those who are interested in shipping will feel satisfied if we can prove to them that the rates charged are not combine rates, and are not unreasonable.
There is another form of competition, which I mentioned last year, and in fact every year that this matter has been up. Large American carriers have the right to carry freight, and they do so, from a Canadian port to an American port. If they are wanting traffic, from time to time

they will load their vessels at Port Arthur and Port William, take the grain to Buffalo, where it is transferred to American elevators, and then a smaller Welland Canal vessel will take that grain from Buffalo through to Montreal without violating any international law. So you have competition in that way in opposition to the steamships operating on inland waters. The same thing, of course, applies to Canadian vessels. They can carry grain from an American port to a Canadian port, and then transship from a Canadian to an American port without violating any international law.
I want to refer for a minute to what was said by the hon. member for Neepawa (Mr. Davis). I think he said that it did not help when the grain came to Kingston. The hon. member, of course, understands that grain going from Port Arthur and Fort William to Buffalo and other American ports has probably 400 or 500 miles of canals to go through, and that the grain is carried in small cargoes of probably
15.000	or 20,000 bushels. If it can go in large quantities to Kingston, it is there transshipped and taken to Montreal at a cheaper rate in vessels of a capacity of
100.000	to 125,000 bushels, and it is only 160 miles, or less than twenty-four hours, from Kingston to Montreal.


John Albert Sexsmith: Shortly before six
o'clock the hon. member for. Marquette (Mr. Crerar) complained about the expenditure of this money on the Trent Valley canal, which he said was practically in the interests of Peterborough and the Peterborough district.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: I never mentioned Peterborough or the Peterborough district.


John Albert Sexsmith: Well, that locality,
which is practically the same thing. I do not think the hon. member wanted to be unfair, and I should just like to point out to him that there is an institution in Peterborough that provides a market for hundreds of thousands of bushels of western grain, and that is the Quaker Oats industry. The Quaker Oats Company was induced in the first place to establish their plant at Peterborough on the ground of being able to get cheap power through the development of this canal. I think it was in 1912 or in 1913 that I went through that institution, and at that time they had a capacity of, and were running, 12,000 bushels of oats every day the year round. In 1911 their daily output the year round was forty cars, 188
and the bulk of that was manufactured from western oats. After their plant was destroyed in 1917, the Quaker Oats people practically refused to rebuild in Peterborough without an assurance from the Government that the Trent Valley canal would be completed. The people of Peterborough were uneasy at that time, and I remember going with the manager of the Quaker Oats firm to see the Minister of Railways and Canals. The firm took the position at that time that if they had a reasonable assurance from the Minister of Railways and Canals that the then uncompleted portion of the Trent Valley canal on the Severn river would be completed, they would rebuild their plant. Otherwise, they would not. They got that assurance.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: In what way is the rebuilding of the plant dependent on the completion of the canal?


John Albert Sexsmith: I understood from the manager that at that time they had their plans all ready to build barges to bring down through the Trent canal from the Georgian bay all the grain necessary for their plant. They still have those plans. Before the fire they had a plant with a daily capacity of about 40,000 bushels of grain. On the assurance of the minister that the uncompleted portion of the canal would be completed in the course of two or three years, they rebuilt their plant. Any man who cares to visit Peterborough can see the establishment.


John Archibald Campbell: Where did they propose to build the plant if the Government had not given that assurance?


John Albert Sexsmith: They intended to
manufacture, as they are doing now, in Michigan, where they have another very big plant. Had this assurance not been given these people, Canada would probably have lost this great establishment. Mark you, the market for the Quaker Oats output is not local. The output of that plant, I have been informed, and I think credibly, is practically all exported to foreign markets. A few years ago one could see train loads of Quaker Oats billed for Belgium, Denmark, and other places, and while today the market may not be entirely export, a few years ago it was. This manufacture provides a market for western grain, and these people are prepared, immediately the canal is finished, to bring down through it all the grain they require. I have every reason to believe that when the Trent



[Stage Direction]
Valley canal is completed it will be of benefit, not only to the city of Peterborough and the surrounding neighbourhood, but also to the country at large. Furthermore, as an hon. member said this afternoon before six o'clock, the development of that canal would bring millions of dollars into Canada in the shape of tourist traffic. A man can take a boat at New York, go through by way of the Trent canal and in a short time get to Chicago. A few years ago when the canal was opened, a couple of boats went from a wharf in Ottawa clean through to Jackson's Point on lake Simcoe. When the canal is finished right up through the Severn river there will be no difficulty in going right on to the Georgian bay and the Quaker Oats people will be able to bring all their grain down from the West at a cheaper rate than they can at the present time over the railway.
Thomas Alexander Crerar: What draught of boats
will the canal accommodate?


John Albert Sexsmith: From Peterborough to Georgian bay it will accommodate boats of from six and a half to seven feet draught. In any case, it is sufficient to accommodate the barges that would bring down the grain required. Now, there is no doubt that we shall be able to secure a very large amount of money from the tourist trade if the canal is completed, and if we can get a million dollars or ten million dollars of American money distributed throughout Canada I cannot see that it makes any difference whether that money comes through the tourist trade or otherwise.
Mr.- GORDON:	Remember, no truck or
trade with the Yankees.


John Albert Sexsmith: Oh, well, we truck
and trade with them, and if they bring in good money we will take it; there is no doubt about that.


Pierre-François Casgrain: You have changed
your mind since 1911.


John Flaws Reid: A convert at last.


John Albert Sexsmith: I never stood in need of conversion along that line.


Pierre-François Casgrain: It is never too late
to mend.


John Albert Sexsmith: Now, without taking
up further time-I know that the minister is anxious to get his Estimates through-


Mr. PARENT:: We have no doubt
about that.


John Albert Sexsmith: I will conclude by
urging upon the committee the importance of completing this little section of the Trent Valley canal. Last year small yachts could go through to Georgian bay, but, of course, this section of eight or ten miles must be completed, and I strongly urge the minister to go on with this work and complete it within the next twelve months.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: I was much interested in what my hon. friend from East Peterborough had to say, but I still adhere to the position I took earlier in the discussion, and I do so not through opposition to the interests of Peterborough or the surrounding districts. As a good Canadian I am glad to see the people in that section prosperous, but to my mind there is a very important principle underlying this expenditure. I am free to admit that in these expenditures in the past we have not followed a wise and sound policy. As regards the Welland canal and the question of tolls on vessels passing through that canal, as I said when speaking on this subject before, there may be some good reasons why vessels should pass free of toll. Personally, I rather incline to the opinion that this view is not sound. My hon. friend the Minister of Railways has argued that it is necessary to have vessels pass through the Welland canal free of toll in order that we may compete with the Erie canal from Buffalo to Albany. As a matter of fact, the Erie canal is scarcely used now at any time for transporting grain. I have been in the grain business a good many years. The company I have been associated with has exported a considerable quantity of grain during the last ten or twelve years, and I know that, as a fact, the Erie canal is not used for transporting grain from Buffalo to Albany.


Francis Henry Keefer: Why?


Thomas Alexander Crerar: Because it can accommodate only barges carrying five or six thousand bushels, and it takes so long to transport the grain that no one will ship it on this canal. Is it necessary, therefore, on that account, to maintain free tolls on the Welland canal? But assuming that this is to meet the competition of the Erie canal, then I would point out that it is intended to benefit insurance and vessel agents and other interests in Toronto, Kingston and Montreal. I have no fault to find with that, but let us put the thing on a fair basis. When we come however to the consideration of the Trent canal, it is in a totally different position.

My hon.. friend from East Peterborough (Mr. Sexsmith), and the hon. member for Muskoka (Mr. McGibbon), have argued that this canal is of value because it develops tourist traffic that promises to amount probably to several million dollars a year. Well, I am rather at a loss to understand what tourist traffic can be developed through a canal that will take narrow boats of only six or eight feet draught. The scenery must be magnificent indeed, if it will attract tourists under these conditions. I rather fancy the average tourist, rather than . travel on a slow boat through a canql that will only accommodate vessels of six feet draughr. will probably take the railway trains and stop off at the points of interest which they pass. If the argument is sound and a justification for this Parliament voting millions of dollars to build this canal in order that a few hundred thousand dollars of revenue may be secured from tourists, then I would commend to Parliament-and I am sure that my hon. friend from Port Arthur will agree with me in this-that it would be a desirable thing to spend a few million dollars of Canadian money advertising the splendid tourist qualities of the Lake of the Woods. There is no finer beauty spot in Canada than the Lake of the Woods, but if I were to seriously advance to this House the proposal that Parliament should vote one or two million dollars to build hotels in that district, and provide the necessary equipment, in ordier that we might accommodate tourists from the United States I should be laughed out of court immediately.


John Albert Sexsmith: I did not argue for a
moment that we should spend millions of dollars purely for the sake of developing tourist traffic; the hon. gentleman knows that very well. But the canal system develops millions of dollars worth of power; and there are hundreds of thousands of bushels of grain, perhaps millions of bushels, that the Quaker Oats Company would bring down from the West, from the grain fields of the hon. gentleman's own province, to the city of Peterborough, grind it up there, and so create a market for the grain of the western farmer. I spoke from that point of view, and also mentioned as a side issue that millions of dollars might be brought in by tourists who would not wait for slow vessels but would come in their own gasoline yachts, capable of running thirty miles an hour. If my hon. friend wishes to. see them let him go to that locality in another six
188J
weeks and he will see one of the most beautiful sections of country on the continent of America,-a section that attracts thousands and tens of thousands of people from the great cities to the south even from points as far distant as California. Apart from that I did not advocate the building of the canal for tourist traffic, and I do not want my hon. friend to put such words in my mouth. I did not make a statement capable of bearing such a construction at all. I say build and complete the canal for the different purposes for which it may be used-carrying grain, supplying a market for the grain of the farmers-yes, and a good market too when you consider that one institution is capable of grinding about forty thousand bushels a day the year round. It is worth looking after and worth spending a little money to give them a chance to do it. Then there is, of course, the great development of power. But the hon. member for Marquette would say: "No, we do not want you to bring your grain down in your own barges. Pay the prices the railways wish to charge you, and if that takes three, four or five cents a bushel more out of the farmers in getting their grain to the market, all right, let them lose it, but don't build any canal." Perhaps that is not what the hon. member wishes to argue but that is the effect of his argument. I am trying to advocate something that will be a benefit to the farmers of the
West-a distinct benefit to those farmers-


Thomas Alexander Crerar: I am going to deal with
that.


John Albert Sexsmith: -and at the same
time be a great benefit to the community through which the canal passes, and bring in people from the United States and other countries to spend their money in the Dominion.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: I thought the hon. member from West Peterborough was going to ask a question rather than make a speech.


John Albert Sexsmith: I beg your pardon.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: However, it is quite all
right.


Mr. CAHILL:: Not the speech.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: No. The hon. member
has asked a question and I would be the last person in this chamber to endeavour in any way to misrepresent his argument. My hon. friend has also referred to the value this canal will be in transporting grain from the Georgian bay to Peterborough, thus adding to the market fneil

ities of the western farmer. Now the Quaker Oats Company have had their plant in Peterborough for quite a number of years, and I am well within the
9 p.m. truth when I state that the mere fact that there was a Quaker Oats mill in Peterborough has not been a factor of any consequence in determining the market value received for oats in Western Canada-not at all. I do think, and I do not want to misrepresent my hon. friend, that when lie argues that this expenditure is justified because it will enable the Quaker Oats people to haul their oats from the Georgian bay to Peterborough in order to grind them there, that this is scarcely a strong argument to advance for the expenditure of millions of dollars on this canal system, and the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to keep it up. As far as power is concerned it is very desirable to have a revenue from that source, but I understand that the total expenditure to date, on this canal, is over $20,000,000, and the interest on that alone probably represents a million dollars a year at the very least, outside the maintenance costs, which are very considerable.
The principle I wish to lay down, Mr. Chairman, is that it is not a desirable condition of affairs that the public treasury of this country should be asked to provide the maintenance costs of a canal that really can only benefit the districts immediately adjacent to#it. If that argument is sound for the Trent Valley canal, it is equally sound for any local expenditure elsewhere throughout Canada.


Francis Henry Keefer: How does the hon. member square that with our expenditure for roads which the public can use free of tolls? Does the hon. gentleman advocate tolls on highways?


Thomas Alexander Crerar: My hon. friend has not cited a good example, but a very poor one. Expenditure for roads is a local expenditure, and the people who benefit from those roads should pay the cost and maintenance of them.


Francis Henry Keefer: Not always.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: The principle that I have enunciated is absolutely a sound principle. That is the ground upon which I question the wisdom of this expenditure, and why I think it is not unjust to ask that some revenue in the way of tolls should be secured from these canals. When the matter of additional expenditure for the 
Hudson Bay railway was under consideration-


Francis Henry Keefer: Would the hon. member be in favour of tolls on public roads?


Thomas Alexander Crerar: I think the toll road is [DOT] an iniquity and always has been; but the toll road out in the country is a different thing altogether from this.


Francis Henry Keefer: They are both high
ways.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: The road just serves
the people of a local district and they should pay the expenditure-


Francis Henry Keefer: Not always.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: -and in this case also they should put up the expenditure. That is the principle I am arguing. We have the Newmarket canal, we have other expenditures of a similar character, and I maintain that it is not unreasonable to ask these local works to produce revenue to meet at least a portion of the outlays that are necessary to carry them. I might go back and cite another illustration. A moment ago I was about to mention the Hudson Bay railway. When the minister had his Railway Estimates up a few weeks ago I opposed further expenditure on that: railway this year because this country is not in a position at the present time to undertake the financial burden, and for the same reason I am quite consistent in opposing additional expenditures on the Trent Valley canal.
Now as far as the Welland canal is concerned I am prepared to say that, in my humble judgment, the whole project was ill conceived and undertaken at the wrong time. I am not nearly so sanguine as my hon. friend the Minister of Railways is that this vast expenditure-which will probably run into fifty or sixty millions of dollars before the work is finished-will bring anything like the benefits he anticipates. There are laws operating in respect to the moving of grain from Canada to Europe and, no matter how many canals you dig between Welland and Montreal, our grain will go out largely by New York, and largely because of the conditions that obtain in ocean insurance and ocean freight rates. When this country has a population of twenty-five, thirty or forty million souls you will have heavy European traffic to our own Canadian ports; but no ocean going vessel that can load from Newport News, Philadelphia, Boston or New York is going to come to Montreal or Quebec to take a cargo of grain to Europe. And

when the vessel is returning from the other side it is very difficult for it to find a cargo for Quebec or Montreal as compared with Philadelphia or New York. That is the real basic reason underlying this thing, and I am convinced that at the present time when the finances of the country are in such an unsatisfactory condition, when our revenues may fail by possibly $150,000,000 to meet the amount of money this Parliament is going to vote this session, these public expenditures are not well advised. We should be retrenching in every possible way, and I really think that these votes in that respect are open to serious objection.


Mr. NICHOLSON (Algoma) :: The principle raised by my hon. friend from Marquette (Mr. Crerar) should be given very careful consideration by the committee- the principle whether or not the time has come when we should reconsider the position taken some years ago and place tolls on all our canal systems that would at least meet the expenses of operation. If my hon. friend would take that position, as I understood the hon. member for Dorchester to take this afternoon, I would be disposed to agree with him. But when he asserts that tolls should be placed on a canal simply because it serves only a particular section of the country, and that another canal that serves a larger section of the country should be left free, he takes a position that I cannot agree with.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: I have not taken that position.


Donald Nicholson: Then I have wholly misunderstood the hon. member. I understood his argument to be that because the Trent Valley canal served merely a section of Central Ontario, Peterborough and the adjacent district it was not a work that should be free of tolls.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: Perhaps my hon. friend will permit me? What I stated was that I rather inclined to the view, that arguments against tolls on the Welland canal were not very sound.


Francis Henry Keefer: Are you in favour of tolls?


Thomas Alexander Crerar: Yes, I think I would be in favour of them. But the argument appeals with fourfold force to a canal like the Trent Vajley canal.


Donald Nicholson: That is exactly the position I understood my hon. friend to take, that because the Trent Valley canal did not bear relation to a
larger area it should be specially singled out to have tolls placed against it. If we carry that argument to its logical conclusion, we would be forced to say that because any work of a public character, such as the construction of a railway, a canal or a highway, or a subsidy granted to a steamship company to carry mails and passengers between certain points, did not serve all of the people of Canada it should not be assisted in any degree by the Federal Parliament. If my hon. friend will take the Estimates contained on pages 38, 39, 40, 41, 42 and 43 he will find millions of dollars voted by this Parliament for purely local purposes in so far as they relate to the rest of Canada. I have sat on the railway committee with my hon. friend and voted for the construction of a branch line of railway in Western Canada that neither he nor I expect in this generation to earn the interest on the capital expenditure, but that was no reason why the railway should not be constructed for our fellow citizens in the territory to be served in order that they might have transportation facilities with the outside world. This session we have voted subsidies for steamships plying along the Gaspe coast to provide means of transportation for our citizens there; also a large sum of money to maintain a ferry service 'between Prince Edward Island and the mainland. It would be difficult to argue that either of the latter services was of any material benefit, for instance, to the people of British Columbia.


Rodolphe Lemieux: How would you get your fish from Gaspe?


Arthur Bliss Copp: Or your potatoes from the Island?


Donald Nicholson: These
are all inter-related one with the other. The point I wish to make is that if we undertake to say that because a public work applies more directly to a particular locality than to the rest of Canada we are not going to have it carried on at all by the Federal Parliament, I do not know where we are going to land, for there are not half a dozen votes in this Estimate that are not more or less of a local character. Coming back to the question of canals, if my hon. friend feels that we should retrace the steps we took twenty years ago and place tolls on all of our canals, he may find support for his position, but even then I think he would find he was placing us, to say the least, not in a very dignified position. Just go up to the Soo and see what

would happen. Three-fourths of the boats plying through the Soo canals are Canadian, and they carry people from all over the world. The moment you place tolls on the Canadian canal what will happen? Every one of those boats will go through the American canal. Is that the position we would like to take of placing our boats at a disadvantage operating through Canadian waters?


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Will the hon. gentleman allow me a question? Has he any objection to our mercantile marine sailing on oceans which we do not own without paying tolls?


Georges Parent: That is a big question.


Donald Nicholson: My hon. friend had better come a little closer home. So long as the United States canals are free, and so long as our shipping is so closely inter-related with that of the United States, if we place tolls on our canals we are going to put our shipping at a disadvantage, and we are going to take a position that, to say the least, will not be very dignified, as I think my hon. friend will admit. Personally I know nothing about the merits or demerits of the Trent canal in its relation to the country through which it runs, but if we take the position that because a work applies more directly to a particular locality than it does to the rest of the couiitry we are not going to support it, we will have to eliminate seven-eighths of these Estimates. It is only in exceptional cases that you can say that any of the items we are voting are of general advantage to the people of Canada. Perhaps the Welland canal is one of these exceptions, but I have no doubt there are people in some parts of the Dominion who will say that neither the Welland nor the Soo canal is of very much immediate personal advantage to them. But he would be a short-sighted citizen who would assert that for that reason these great highways of commerce should not be maintained and made as perfect as we can make them. We are building harbours and elevators on the Pacific and the Atlantic coast, which are not, it may be contended, of equal advantage to all the people in every part of the country, but nevertheless it is our duty as Canadians to construct and maintain those works, in order that we may better the conditions of our citizens as a whole.


George Gordon: The hon. member for Marquette (Mr. Crerar) has referred to
	*
the Trent Valley canal as a purely local institution. I contend that such is not the case; it is a canal which will operate, with the natural waterways in connection with it, from Georgian bay to lake Ontario. The distance from Sault Ste. Marie to New York by the Erie canal is 1,094 miles, while the distance from the same point to Montreal by the Trent waterway is 687 miles,, the advantage in distance for the Trent route being over 400 miles. With the advantage of shorter distance there is the further advantage of greater speed; a double trip can be made over the Trent waterway in less time than a single trip via the Erie route. Members of the committee know very well what development resulted from the establishment of the Erie canal in the state of New York. The Erie canal is a considerable factor in export trade, but we say that the Trent canal will be a much greater factor in that connection by reason of its being on a more direct line of communication and cutting directly through at an angle from Georgian bay down to Trenton. Evidence was given some time ago before a Royal Commission at Peterborough dealing with the subject of transportation to show that the grain could be carried by the Trent waterway from Midland to Montreal for one and a quarter cents per bushel while the rate at that time from Peterborough to Montreal was about five and one-half cents per bushel. A number of commissions have inquired into and dealt with this question; experts have been called and have given their testimony, and these commissions reported favourably upon the completion of this canal when it was about one-half or one-third constructed. As the hon. member for East Peterborough (Mr. Sexsmith) has said, the Quaker Oats plant has a capacity of 8,000 barrels a day; in [DOT] other words, they can send out and take in each day a train a mile long. It is entirely an export mill; the local business is practically nil. I think the hon. member for Marquette said that such mills were hardly a factor in the matter. Well, if we had not such mills as that, how would the grain from the Canadian West be milled and exported? Surely it is an advantage to have a mill of that kind in this country, employing large numbers of men, bringing about the development of cities where they are established and exporting the finished product rather than the raw material. There are two other large firms operating very modern mills. The Quaker Oats mill is said to be the most modern in

the world, and it is ready to do this milling if the opportunity is forthcoming. Then there are other considerations. A turning basin has been dredged in the river at Peterborough. A lift lock, the highest in the world, has been constructed there. Various governments from the time of Sir John A. Macdonald down to the present have expended moneys for the carrying out of this scheme and establishing this Trent waterway from Georgian bay to lake Ontario. So, how can it be considered an unsound proposal at this day, when we have arrived at the very last unit, you might say, of construction, the completing of the chain by making the connection between Port Severn and Washago? If the objection had been raised some time ago, it might have been a matter of greater import, but in view of the fact that all these moneys have been expended and that the canal is only partly useful because it is only partly completed, it seems to me that having regard to the stake that Canada has in this, the greatest of its inland waterways, the work should be completed with little hesitation.
The suggestion that it is local work is, I submit, entirely beside the fact. Peterborough alone does not benefit by the Trent canal. It is true that we benefit to some extent because of the fact that we are upon it, but the blast furnaces at Midland will be able to have their products freighted through on this waterway to the plants at Petei-borough and Belleville at a far cheaper rate than would otherwise be the case. It means something in reducing the cost of living to the man who buys his flour or to the manufacturer who may use metal products-and Peterborough and Belleville are both cities where large quantities of metal products are used in various classes of manufacture. Included in these manufactures in agricultural machinery, which goes out west into that territory dominated by the hon. member for Marquette, who, I think, has always been anxious to have low prices for farm machinery, even if it should become necessary to import it without duty from the United States.
I would strongly urge that this Estimate be not questioned, because it is of vast importance to that part of the country east of Toronto. If there is one Estimate that is of importance among those which are before us this session, it is this one. The work had not been completed because other works were considered more essential and now, in order to give the
waterway an earning power, it is necessary that the last link in the chain be completed so that we may have a canal that will carry freight from Georgian bay through to lake Ontario. I attended at Chicago a meeting of the directors of the Quaker Oats Company after the mill at Peterborough had been blown up and burned; I think it was in December, 1914. One of the reasons why the directors of the Quaker Oats Company decided to build that great mill in Peterborough was their expectation that the Trent canal would be completed within a short time. Mr. Robert Gordon, one of the directors of the Quaker Oats Company, and, I think, the vice-president and treasurer, said so; they expected to bring their grain down in barges from Georgian bay. It seems to me that with the opportunities there are for the building up of a great city at Peterborough; with the mills we have there, capable of doubling and tripling their capacity; with the money that has been expended by various governments, no question should be raised at this time when we are almost at the last stages of the work. I do submit that in view of these circumstances no doubt should now be thrown upon the usefulness of this great inland waterway.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: Mr. Chairman, I do not wish to be placed in any wrong position by my hon. friends from East and West Peterborough. I have no quarrel with the city of Peterborough; I certainly hope it will thrive and prosper, and that the district in the vicinity will do the same. It may be that it is necessary to complete this expenditure. My suggestion was in the first place that it should be possible to get some revenue from these canals and save the country from the burden of voting tens of thousands of dollars every year to maintain them. So far as the Trent Valley canal is concerned I appreciate the optimism of my hon. friend from West Peterborough, but I assure him that it will be a long time before the Trent canal will ever be a highway for transporting grain from Western Canada to Montreal. The Erie canal, I repeat is not used for transporting gTain. If my memory serves me rightly it was built at a time when there was but poor railway facilities throughout the state of New York. The Erie canal to-day and for many years past has not been used for transporting grain, and it is an impracticable proposition to transport grain by barges where you have to go through open water. It may be that

there is some local traffic that this canal can serve.


George Gordon: Is there open water
on the Trent waterways?


Thomas Alexander Crerar: You would have to
transship your grain when you get to lake Ontario again and put it on vessels. The cost of transshipping grain from vessels to barges and from barges to vessels is such that the proposition is not a practicable one.


John Dowsley Reid: They can go right
through the Trent canal and down the St. Lawrence canals to Montreal.


Thomas Alexander Crerar: That is not a practicable proposition when you come to work it out. It has not been found practicable on the Erie canal. I am not going to take up the time of the committee longer. I have stated my views and I am obliged to the committee for the courteous manner in which they have listened to me. I wish to assure my hon. friends from East and West Peterborough again that I have no quarrel with the city of Peterborough.


Andrew Ross McMaster: I must raise my voice in protest against this lavish expenditure for objects which, although, perhaps, good in themselves, are not warranted in the present financial condition of Canada. I do not doubt that water transportation is an excellent thing for the country, but the question is: What can Canada afford? If we are falling behind on ordinary account, as I am sure we will find ourselves to be falling behind, it is simply madness for us to go ahead with great capital expenditures unless they are absolutely required.


George Gordon: Has the hon. member
ever seen the Trent canal?


Andrew Ross McMaster: I have never seen the Trent canal; but I do not need to see it; I have seen the map of Canada. Very often we find that a man ruins himself by building too large a house on his property; but what Canada is doing, I am sorry to say, is placing herself in the position of a man who is ruining himself by having too many roads through his property. That is the situation. We have increased in this country transportation facilities beyond the degree in which the country can adequately use and support them. We have to call a halt. I know it is always hard to convince those who live in the parts of Canada that are necessarily affected by curtailment, to see the

matter in which other disinterested people see it. But we are spending far too much money. This is not the statement of a partisan; it is the statement of every thoughtful person in Canada. We must call a halt. There are certain service! that must be continued; interest on the debt must be paid; pensions must be paid-


George Gordon: Militia Department.


Andrew Ross McMaster: Militia Department
Estimates should be cut in half, if not by two-thirds. Very severe cuts might be made in the Estimates of other departments without hurting the country as a whole, although such action may be disagreeable and, perhaps, to the disadvantage of certain sections of the country. The trouble is that a public work, like the tariff, is largely a local issue, and when we come to deal with the curtailment of public expenditures, somebody's ox is always being gored. But we have to take a nation-wide look at matters; and while we may treat these matters lightly, the taxpayers of Canada, who are feeling the burden of taxation more heavily than they have ever felt it before, will call any government to account, no matter by what name they may call themselves, who will not curtail expenditure. We must curtail expenditure. If the debt, and the interest on the debt, keep mounting year by year, taxes will have to mount year by year, and when you get the country up to a certain degree of taxation, those taxes have a deterrent effect on industry. No greater benefit can be given to the Canadian people, no greater step can be taken in the direction of sound reconstruction than diminution of public expenditure and diminution of taxation.


Thomas Vien: What is the total estimate of the cost of completion of the work on the Trent canal and on the Welland-canal?


John Dowsley Reid: To complete the Trent canal through to Georgian bay,-to make it a complete waterway,-it will take about $1,500,000. To complete the contracts that have been partially completed on the Welland canal, will take about $15,000,000 spread over about three or four years.


Thomas Vien: Does that include contracts already let-?


John Dowsley Reid: The present vote and probably a couple more votes will complete the Welland canal to this extent, that there will be only five full-sized locks, and ve?

sels drawing 14 feet of water will be able to pass through the Welland canal.


Thomas Vien: Does the minister mean that contracts already let and contracts to be let to complete the work will amount to $15,000,000?


John Dowsley Reid: No. The contracts that we are letting now will complete the locks where these works are being constructed. After that the only work to complete the canal will be dredging from where this work ends up to Port Col-borne, but no more locks will be required.


Thomas Vien: What is the estimate of the total cost of completing the Welland canal?


John Dowsley Reid: The original total estimate when the work was started, was about $50,000,000, and according to that estimate, it would take about $30,000,000 or $35,000,000 to complete the work, but it is hard to say whether conditions will come down to what they were prior to the war. I expect that as these works are carried along, probably a year or two, conditions will be about the same as they were prior to the war, and we will be able to complete the work for about $55,000,000 instead of $50,000,000.


Andrew Ross McMaster: How much is to be expended yet to complete the canal?


John Dowsley Reid: If the total amount is $55,000,000, it will take probably about $35,000,000 yet.


Joseph Archambault: On April 11, this item came up for discussion and I asked the minister if the present contracts for this canal were given by tender. The minister replied that they were not given by tender, but that the contracts were let on a cost-plus basis. There are very remunerate contracts, and those who take contracts on a cost-plus basis generally get what we call " plums."


John Dowsley Reid: Was the hon. member in the chamber a few minutes ago when I gave an explanation in regard to those contracts? What I stated then was that those contracts were originally given by tender and that they were closed down after the war started. The work was started up again about two and a half years ago just after the Armistice on a cost-plus basis and it has been that basis practically until now. We decided that it was not in the public interest to call for tenders when prices of labour and materials were very high, but last December, in renewing the cost-plus basis contract, we notified the contractors that as soon as the plans and specifications could be got ready we would call for tenders and that the contracts would be let to the lowest tenderer. The first one we were able to get ready was No. 5, which is mostly dredging. Tenders were called for and contracts let for that. Two or three others on which the engineers have been busy since the first of Jartuary preparing plans and specifications we expect to have ready within the next two or three weeks, when tenders will be called for. The whole work will then be on a tender and contract basis, instead of cost-plus.


Joseph Archambault: My point is
this: The other day, just after I had asked for the names of the contractors, the Minister of Justice got up and brought in the closure, so I did not receive an answer.
I am a little bit suspicious about these contracts. Will the minister give the names of the contractors who got the work on a cost-plus basis?


John Dowsley Reid: They were the original contractors.


Joseph Archambault: The names,
please.


John Dowsley Reid: One was the Dominion Dredging Company, of Ottawa. I am informed that Colonel Stewart and Mr. Lar-month of Ottawa were the original members of that firm, but that Colonel Stewart has since gone out. That is for section No. 1. Then there is Baldry, Yerburg & Hutchinson, an English firm; the Canadian Dredging Company of Midland.


Joseph Archambault: Who are the members of the latter company?


John Dowsley Reid: There are quite a number in that company.


Joseph Archambault: Is Mr. M. J.
O'Brien a member of that company?


John Dowsley Reid: Then there is the
Dominion Dredging Company and Doheny, Quinlan & Robertson.


John Archibald Campbell: Before the item comes to a vote, I should like to make an observation or two. I have listened with considerable attention to the arguments pro and con, particularly the arguments of my hon. friend from West Peterborough (Mr. Gordon). He put up a pretty strong case for the completion of this canal. I do not blame the hon. gentleman at all; I do not question the strength of his case at; all;

I have no fault whatever to find with his argument. In fact, if he has not mentioned certain local circumstances and local names, I thought his argument might have been used for the completion of the Hudson Bay Railway, for it was practically the same argument I put forward for the completion of that road. He laid particular stress on the fact that this was the last unit that was to be completed, and that then there would be a proposition which could show that it was some good. I pointed out to the House some days ago that the Hudson Bay railway was almost complete, that the dump was complete, that only a few miles of steel remained to be laid to complete the road. I argued from that standpoint that the road should be completed, but the House did not see it that way.
I think there are two points to consider in connection with the Welland canal and the Trent canal. First, there is the question of construction, and secondly, the question of improvements, repairs and betterments. I think the two should be clearly distinguished. A short time ago votes passed for improvements, betterments and repairs for these canals. I listened to the explanation of those votes given by the minister, and I was suspicious that perhaps the full amount voted was not really necessary, but after his statement that serious results would ensue if the work was not maintained in proper shape, the vote for improvements went through without opposition. But that is an entirely different matter from the vote for construction. I do not propose to argue the question of tolls; I do not know that it is particularly inorder at this time. I do not propose to argue against the Welland canal or the Trent canal propositions as not being of Dominion-wide importance. I do not propose to say that they are entirely of local interest. I do not propose to say that they will not ultimately pay and be of benefit to the Dominion, but I do say, as my hon friend from Brome (Mr McMaster) has pointed out, that the situation now is such that it is really time to call a halt. It is not necessary to go on with these undertakings at the present time, although it may be in order to take them up at a later date That is the very argument I put forward in connection with the Hudson Bay railway. The two propositions stand pretty nearly on all fours. I said at that time that I was just as much in favour of economy as any member of this House, 
and that if the Government did not have the money to expend on an enterprise of that kind at that time, they would not hear one word further from me in favour Of the completion of the Hudson Bay railway. I mentioned at that time these canals, the Toronto harbour works, and other things of that nature, to show that the Government had money to expend on enterprises which, to say the most of them, were of no more importance than the Hudson Bay railway. It would seem that the expenditure of money is to be localized, and that enterprises in the East, such as the Welland canal, the Trent canal, and others, are going to have money spent on them from time to time, and in large amounts, while work on the Hudson Bay railway, which is just as important, to say the least, .as these eastern enterprises I have mentioned, is promptly stopped; no more money is to be expended on it, and the present construction is to suffer deterioration and decay, resulting in a great loss to Canada each year.
As. I have said, I am not going to argue the merits of these projects at all. I do not think there is anything in the argument that the Trent canal or the Welland canal is going to be of material benefit in reducing rates on grain. In that respect the one will in a way work against the other. If the Welland canal is going to do that, the Trent canal will not, and if we have one of them, there is no particular reason for having both, although up to a certain point they may both help. But the particular feature to my mind is this:	Hon. gentlemen on the other side
put up very strong arguments for the completion of these works on the ground that they are going to help the western farmer; it is said that they are going to mean lower freight rates and higher prices to the farmer for his wheat and other grains. It strikes me that hon. gentlemen opposite are very solicitous for the interests of the farmer, but the peculiar thing is that they will not let the farmers say what they want themselves in the way of reduction of tolls or increases in the price of wheat. Some years ago the question came up whether we should have reciprocity or not. The western farmer wanted it; he said that it would mean a bigger price for his wheat, but the people down here said:
" No, you cannot have reciprocity, although it will give you a bigger price for your wheat. We will give you instead the Trent canal and the Welland

canal, and some other works we want to build down here." The same thing is being-said now. The western farmer says he wants the Hudson Bay railway, and wants some branch lines in order to realize a greater price for his wheat, and in order that the carrying charges may be less. But the eastern people say "No, you cannot have these things; we will give you the Trent and Welland canals. You do not know what you want." Now, we submit with all deference to the learned gentlemen of the East wtho have taken so much trouble to look into the affairs of the western farmers, that we have a fair idea of what we want, and we know that what we want is in the best interests, not only of the western farmers, but of the people of Canada generally.
My hon. friend from Muskoka (Mr. Mc-Gibbon) had a few remarks to make before six o'clock relative to the fairness or unfairness of the attitude taken by the West. Let me point out to him the exact situation. We do not want anything in preference to the East. We recognize the importance of the East, and we should like the East to recognize, to some extent, the importance of the West. A little while ago we brought up the question of the Hudson Bay railway. Did my hon. friend support it? Notwithstanding that it was on the verge of being completed, and not, like the Welland canal, an entirely new proposition just under construction a few years, my hon. friend opposed it. What did the western representatives say on the subject? Some of us said that we wanted the Hudson Bay railway completed because money was being spent on eastern enterprises [DOT] that were, to say the least, of no more importance than that railway. All western members did not take that view . The hon. member for Marquette (Mr. Crerar) said that under present financial conditions in Canada he thought that further work of construction in regard to the Hudson Bay railway should be deferred. Now, some of the western men were willing to go thus far, and the rest of us urged the completion of the railway, because, as I say, we saw money being poured out like water on other enterprises of less importance or, at all events, of no more importance than the Hudson Bay railway.
The Government, we contend, should be fair. They should treat West and East alike. If they say, "We must have money for repairs and improvements on the canals, but in the matter of construction we will treat the East as we do the West,
and defer construction work on these two propositions until a later date, when conditions become normal and money is more plentiful"-if they take that view, we shall have no fault to find. That is a fair proposition, and if my hon. friend from Muskoka is impartial he cannot object to it. But he says: "You must not have any money for the Hudson Bay railway, but it is necessary that we should have a vote to complete these propositions." We urge that both the East and the West should be put in the same category; if there is money for one there should be money for the other, and if expenditures cannot be afforded for construction work in the West, then no construction should be carried on in the East. That is only reasonable, and we certainly do most emphatically protest against the unfair discrimination shown to western interests in carrying on these expenditures, when other matters of equal, if not greater importance, brought before the House are not favourably considered.


Frank S. Cahill: The minister says that
there was one contract let. To whom was it let?	-


John Dowsley Reid: Contract No. 5 was let to the Canadian Dredging Company, the lowest tenderers.


Frank S. Cahill: How many tenders were
received?


John Dowsley Reid: Three.' The Great
Lakes Dredging and Contracting Company, Limited, Port Arthur, put in a tender for $3,288,700. This is a good reliable contracting firm. The second tender was from P. Lyall and Sons Construction Company, Limited, Montreal. Their tender was for $3,297,500. The Canadian Dredging Company, Limited, put in a tender for $2,442,450, or $855,000 less than Lyall's, and $846,000 less than the Great Lakes Dredging Company.


Frank S. Cahill: The contract was let to
the men who had the original contract?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes, they had it originally.


Frank S. Cahill: Were there any other
tenders besides these?


John Dowsley Reid: No, these were the only tenders received. The matter was advertised for three or four weeks.


Frank S. Cahill: None of the other contractors on the canal tendered?


John Dowsley Reid: No.


Frank S. Cahill: There seems to be a sort of understanding that they will keep off each other's territory.


John Dowsley Reid: No, I will not say
that. This is a dredging contract; the other three contracts are not dredging contracts; they are for building locks.


Frank S. Cahill: The minister gave some figures for the grain rate from Port Colborne to Montreal. What are the figures from Georgian bay to Montreal?


John Dowsley Reid: What the hon. member would like to know, as I understand his question, is the rate by vessel from Port Arthur or Fort William to Georgian bay ports and then the railway rates from Georgian bay to Montreal?


Frank S. Cahill: Yes.


John Dowsley Reid: I regret I have not got that, but when I am on the railway Estimates another evening, on Friday______


Frank S. Cahill: That would be of no use; it is on the canal vote that we want that information.


Francis Henry Keefer: Perhaps the hon. member will allow me to give the rates; I happened to receive them to-day. The following rates which will be a little lower now, have been given me as at April 22:
Per bushel
Cents
Port William to the Bay	 2-75
Marine and outturn at $170. . [ . . .	-66
Rail rate Bay to Montreal	 ll-62
Agents' fee and elevation to Ocean
Steamer	 ,,n
Montreal-Direct steamer (or transfer Pt. Colborne)-
	Per bushel	
Ft. William	to Montreal all water.	Cents 13*00
Marine and	outturn at $1.70	
(Wheat) .		1-15
Agent's fee	and elevation to Ocean	
Steamer. .		[DOT]40
From Fort William, via Buffalo, to New York, including exchange, the rate is 18.01. In that 18.01 the rate to Buffalo or Port Colborne is only 2 cents, and it is fair to assume that if you take wheat to Buffalo or Port Colborne for 2 cents, you ought to take it to Montreal, which is half that distance, for another 2 cents. Whatever you add to that 2 cents will be a 
saving between it and the 13 cents you at present pay for water rate.


Frank S. Cahill: If those figures are
correct, and I presume they are, there would be practically no saving in the deepening of the Welland canal, so far as wheat transportation is concerned.


John Dowsley Reid: These figures are for April 22. Now, while the rail rate remains the same, the water rate has been reduced from Port Arthur and Fort William to Georgian bay. According to the information I last had it was 111 cents, but it has been further reduced. The following information has just been handed to me by one of my officials: Rate to Port Colborne, 2 to 3 cents,-this is to-day's rate-Port Colborne to Montreal, 6 to 8 cents. The through rate from Port Arthur and Fort William to-day is therefore between 8 cents and 11 cents, and as the season advances that will be reduced. The rail rates, of course remain, and there will be a greater spread from time to time than there is at present.


Frank S. Cahill: I understood the rail
rate from Port Colborne was practically the same as the rail rate from Georgian bay points.


John Dowsley Reid: I may explain to the
hon. member that no grain goes from Port Colborne to Montreal by rail. All grain that goes to Port Corborne is intended to be carried all the way through by water and not by rail at all; but all grain going to any of the Georgian bay ports must be carried to Montreal by rail. The Port Colborne elevator was constructed in order to have all-water transportation between Port Arthur and Fort William and Montreal.


John Archibald Campbell: A few minutes ago I made a reference to the Welland canal and omitted to read certain extracts which I have here-I simply overlooked them. The comparison made in regard to that canal was probably too favorable because from information which I have received, and according to my own figuring, the new Welland canal will not only not be an advantage* to Canada but will be a disadvantage if it is completed before the canals on the St. Lawrence are finished. As has already been pointed out by an hon. member to-night this is a case of putting the cart before the horse-the St. Lawrence canals should have been completed before building the Welland canal. Were the new Welland canal completed at the present time the Americans would get

a greater advantage than they are able to enjoy at present. I have before me a pamphlet on the canal system and I will read a quotation therefrom. The excerpt I wish to read is as follows:
Enlargement of the Welland, then, will give the Americans the following important advantages :-
1.	It will admit to Lake Ontario this enormous fleet of upwards of 500 large American freighters, and extend to that lake the keen competition now so seriously felt by Canadian carriers on the Upper Lakes.
2.	It will increase the length of haul of these large American freighters equally with that of Canadian vessels.
3.	It will enable American freighters to load American anthracite coal as return cargo ninety miles nearer the mines than at Buffalo, thereby saving the rail haul on every westbound cargo to that extent.
Canadian vessels, on the other hand, will gain merely the increased length of haul in large freighters. The point of trans-shipment will be mo roly changed to Kingston Instead of Fort Col-borne, and our net gain will be simply the difference in cost of carriage between those points in large freighters, and in vessels of Welland canal size.
It is clear that under these circumstances, the chances of cargoes going through to Montreal will be materially reduced below what they are at present.
Another paragraph in this pamphlet says:'
Then again the main dependence for return oargo at Buffalo is anthracite coal. Oswego is ninety miles closer than Buffalo to Scranton, the centre of the anthracite coal district. vIn spite of the fact that large freighters cannot come down to Lake Ontario, Oswego already shipped about 250,000 tons of anthracite west in 1911.
The contention therefore is that if the Welland canal is finished at the present time it will be a real disadvantage to Canada. I have been told that by engineers, by those who are in the transportation business, and by others who claim to know the conditions. On the face of it their contentions appear to me quite reasonable and for that reason, as well as for the other reasons I have mentioned, this item should not be allowed to pass.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Before this item passes I wish to add my protest to those which have been heard from this side this afternoon and this evening. It strikes me that before entering upon any such large expenditure as this, we should look at the financial and economical situation of the country, because if not bankrupt we are very nearly so. We should therefore scrutinize in the closest possible way every expenditure. It must be shown, and shown conclusively, that the moneys voted for the Trent canal and for the Welland canal
are absolutely necessary and 10 p.m. that an emergency exists, that they should be completed in order that some immediate and practical benefit may result therefrom; that we are expending this money in order to preserve the advantages derived from the expenditure already made. For my part I must say that I oppose this expenditure. With all due deference to my hon. friends from East and West Peterborough, and to other hon. gentlemen, I would advise them to do as a large number of members on this side-and I presume some hon. gentlemen opposite have done-that is to pass for themselves a kind of self-denying ordinance with regard to public works. We have been told very frequently by ministers and others that if the ministry feels itself free to carry on these public works it is largely on account of the pressure brought to bear by local members or by people from the particular district concerned. Take the case of the members from the district of Quebec. There are large public works that remain to be carried out in that district. We have the pledge of this Government, as well as of former governments, that these works should be constructed but by a species, as I have already said, of self-denying ordinance we have refrained from using our undoubtedly great influence with the Government and pressing our views on them. Had we wished we would have kept this House in session for very long periods of time and, I think, we could have succeeded in convincing members generally that these works in our district are of urgent public importance and should be completed. I think the same is true to a considerable extent, of works in other parts of the country: but the hon. members in question have refrained from pressing their claims, they have refrained from endeavouring to make political capital, they have refrained from endeavouring to get certain advantages for their constituencies, and it seems to me therefore that the Government should very carefully scrutinize such items as this before embarking upon expenditures. For example, there are in our district what is known as the St. Charles river works upon which over $2,-000,000-I think the figures are correct- have been expended. These works are now going to. ruin because the money necessary to conserve them-perhaps two, three or five thousand dollars-is not being spent. They are going to ruin, thus entailing the loss of the large sum that has already been

spent; the Government is allowing these works to deteriorate, to be carried away by the tide and so on. If the Government is carrying economy to that point in one section, surely it should not embark upon any new or expensive undertaking in any other part of the country. Personally I have no wish to lay it down as a broad principle that we should not undertake certain public works, and should not construct canals. Canals had their use in days gone by. I have no doubt that, in the early days of Confederation, canals were absolutely necessary for transportation purposes in this country, and perhaps it may be shown that they are of some utility. But they are not of such immediate practical utility that we should continue to operate them in view of our present financial condition. I think, therefore, the minister will be well advised to cut the amount necessary to spend on these undertaking to as low a figure as possible.


Thomas Vien: If'consistency was one of the virtues of the Minister of Railways, I would tell him how much he has sinned against it since the introduction of the items which refer to canals and other public works. But it is said that if a sin is committed twice it appears a sin no longer, and I am afraid that the minister has sinned so frequently that he no longer attempts to be consistent. A few weeks ago he submitted to this House an appalling statement in respect to our national railways and he said, "I am sorry, but I am obliged to ask the indulgence of the House. I have a deficit of $70,000,000, and I hope that hon. gentlemen on both sides of the House will help me in finding some solution for this great difficulty in which I find myself." Many suggestions were offered, including a suggestion that he retrench and economize, but to-night the hon. gentleman is launching the country into another undertaking which will involve in the near future an expenditure of $55,000,000. What will be the benefit? Very slight indeed, Sir, if any. In fact, there are some persons, presumably well posted, who say that any benefit will be derived by Americans much more than by Canadians, while others say that the expenditure involved will be out of all proportion to the benefit which will accrue. But more than that, the hon. gentleman is creating a new competitor for his railways, and will have a still greater deficit to meet. It has been pointed out to him on several occasions that full advantage is not taken of the Transcontinental railway 
for the transportation of grain. When the policy for the building of that railway was introduced in this House in 1903 it was argued that such a railway would enable western wheat to be shipped through our Atlantic ports and would materially reduce the cost of transportation from Winnipeg to the seaboard, very much to the benefit of the western provinces and - of the eastern seaports. Further arguments in support of the construction of the Transcontinental were that it would give a shorter route between Winnipeg and Quebec and that the very low maximum grade of .4 of one per cent would give a hauling capacity of 1,780 tons as compared with only 940 tons on other roads. Well, Sir, the Transcontinental is in operation, hut the Minister of Railways has not seen fit to take full advantage of it. Has he tried to divert the transportation of western wheat to our Atlantic seaports? Not at all. On the contrary, he has done his best to prevent it. It has been shown that at present the rate of transportation of wheat from Winnipeg to New York is 32 cents a bushel, as against a possible rate over the Transcontinental from Winnipeg to Quebec in summer and to St. John, N.B., in winter of 17 cents a bushel. I understand that this has been brought to the attention of the minister, but without avail. It has been shown that with the low maximum grade of .4 of one per cent a trainload of sixty cars, each of a capacity of 1,000 bushels, or 60,000 bushels, could be hauled along the Transcontinental railway. The Government reports show the per train mile cost for a loaded freight train of 260 tons in 1905, when this policy was decided upon was $1.21; in 1913, the year preceding the war, it was $1.60; and in 1918, when the war was over and the cost of wages and fuel had greatly increased, the cost was $2.49. So that in the thirteen years the cost per train mile had increased 100 per cent, or about 8 per cent per annum, and the load carried per freight train had increased 75 per cent. The figures for 1920 are not yet available, but if the increased cost were in the same ratio, 8 per cent per anum, or 16 per cent additional for the two years, it would make a total cost per train mile of $2.90. But in 1920 a considerable increase in wages had to be allowed to conform with the wage scales in the United States, so if another forty per cent per train mile be added to cover this the cost would be $3.30. Assuming that loads could be found for only one-fourth of the cars re-

turned to Winnipeg, the cost of hauling back the other three-fourths empty would have to be added, and the figures would then stand as follows: 50 cars at $3.30 per train mile, $4,455; cost of hauling three-fourths of these cars empty-and an empty car is one-third the weight of a loaded car, but say 40 per cent-it would take 40 per cent of the cost of hauling the loaded cars to Quebec to haul back three-fourths of the cars empty to Winnipeg, or 30 per cent of $4,455-$1,336. That gives a total of $5,791 as the cost of hauling 60,000 bushels of wheat to Quebec and hauling back three-fourths of the cars empty, or 9.65 cents, in round figures 10 cents per bushel. Then, 30 per cent, or three cents, may be added for profit for the railway, making the cost 13 cents. Something might also be added owing to the fact that a train of fifty cars of wheat would weigh much more than the average train figured on in the Government report. Adding on this account 30 per cent, or 4 cents per bushel, the total, 17 cents per bushel, would seem a profitable price for the railway for hauling wheat from Winnipeg to Quebec. At present the rate from Winnipeg to New York is 32 cents a bushel by water and rail while the rate from Winnipeg to Quebec is 36 cents. So that at 17 cents a bushel the Canadian Government railways could transport western wheat from Winnipeg to Quebec, thereby competing with other lake and rail routes from Winnipeg to Montreal and to New York. These figures are absolutely reliable. They are based on data furnished by officials of the Transcontinental, and are in accordance also with figures furnished by the Interstate Commerce Commission with respect to the cost of hauling trains per train mile on the large American roads under state management-which, as is well known, was an expensive management. The rate on grain from Georgian bay ports, Midland to Halifax, for example, a distance of 1,215 miles, is 21.17 cents per hundred pounds or 12.7 cents per bushel. This information will be found in the tariff of the Grand Trunk, item 467. This rate applies over a variety of grades, sharp curvatures, congested track, expensive terminals, and, at present, two systems. If the same basis were applied from Winnipeg to Quebec, a distance of 1,350 miles, the rate would be 14 cents per bushel over a non-congested, straight, low grade track, which is now idle. This would save shippers the extra elevation, handling and incidental grain losses at the lake ports, also any extra for the rail haul Winnipeg to Port Arthur, and most of the charges across the lakes. The Transcontinental would become the saviour of the country. It would become the saviour of our Canadian National railways instead of being such a burden to them. The St. Lawrence route would be greatly strengthened and Canadian grain would reach the seaboard at less cost than by other routes-which is very necessary in view of present conditions.


Mr. MAHARG:: What is the date of that?


Thomas Vien: February 3, 1921. At present, Sir, we have a good rail system of transportation in the Transcontinental and our other national roads. But will the minister listen to such a proposal? Not at all. He has invited suggestions from all quarters, but when constructive suggestions are made he does not listen to them. He invites the House to vote additional sums of money for public works which will mean an expenditure of some $50,000,000 or $55,000,000 and which will create a big competitor of the Canadian National railways, with resulting benefit not to Canada but to the American seaports. I think the committee will be interested in knowing something about the quantity of wheat transported through American ports during the last six years. If I understood rightly the member for Marquette, he said that very little western wheat was sent through American ports.


John Archibald Maharg: Oh, no; he put it the other way.


Thomas Vien: I am glad to accept the correction; I misunderstood him. I could not understand how he could make such a statement, in the light of the information that I have before me.


Joseph Elijah Armstrong: What is the name of the pamphlet that the hon. gentleman is quoting from?


Thomas Vien: I was quoting from the data contained in a memorial to the Railway Commission of Canada by the Quebec Board of Trade and the Quebec Harbour Commissioners. I am sorry that the minister, who has had all that information before him for some time, has not given it more attentive consideration. As I have said, he invited suggestions, but when they are put forward he disregards them. Not only does he do that; he creates competitors whose operations would increase

the deficit which the national railways have suffered in the past and involve the country in large expenditures of money. Hon. gentlemen will be interested to hear that in the years from 1912 to 1918, 1,906,000,000 bushels of wheat were shipped from Fort William by water, of which 577,000,000 bushels went through Canadian seaports and 518,000,000 bushels to Buffalo and thence, the greater part of it, to New York, Philadelphia, and other United States seaports. Rates are so arranged on the American railways and canals that they compete with the Canadian railways, and the Canadian railways are occasionally obliged to take a loss. At a hearing held by the Board of Railway Commissioners in February last it was stated by the traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway company that they were losing money on the present rates from the bay ports to Montreal or St. John, but that they could not help it; that if they did not meet the competition the whole of the wheat traffic would go through American ports. I have serious doubt how they managed the figures to establish that they take a loss in the transportation of the grain. I do not believe that a railway as well managed as the Canadian Pacific would continue in such a trade if they were losing money. But as regards our Canadian National railways, we built the Transcontinental and the Grand Trunk Pacific from the western coast to Moncton, New Brunswick, especially for the purpose of carrying western grain. When those roads were commenced, the strongest arguments in favour of construction were the shortening of the transportation from Winnipeg to the seaports, the reduction in grades and the grater hauling capacity that trains over that line would have. When the roads were completed, one would naturally think that the Government would take advantage of them. They did not;, they did not give rates which were well within the figures which I have shown. At present the rate from Winnipeg to Quebec is 36 cents a bushel, when it could be as low as 17 cents, but the rate could be 24 or 25 cents and still be seven or eight cents lower than the rate to New York by lake and rail. Moreover, when the Board of Railway Commissioners sat in Quebec, we put this direct question to the traffic managers: "Why do you not give to Quebec the same rate that you give to New York and Montreal?" Quebec, I might say, was on a different rate altogether. They replied: "Well, there is no competition; there is no other route; there
[Mr. Vien.J
is no other railway; there is no other transportation facilities to Quebec, whereas, in Montreal we have to compete with the American canals; once the grain is in Quebec, there is no competitor." I say: Yes, there is a competitor; the competitor is the Transcontinental railway; but the competitor is not alive to the advantages which nature and the construction of that road, under the conditions under which it was constructed, give to it. When we put this other question: "Why do you not use the Transcontinental railway?" and when we showed to those traffic managers the figures and asked them why they should not reduce their rates on the Transcontinental railway so as to compete with New York and other American ports, they said: "We (cannot do that; if the Transcontinental were to do that, it would put all the other railways out of business," meaning thereby that Quebec, when there is no other competitor in the field, can be charged a higher rate; but when there is a competitor, we cannot take advantage of the competitor, because if we were to do so, we would put the other railways out of business. In 1903, in 1904, and all the time that the Transcontinental and the Grand Trunk Pacific were under construction, we knew that the road would be some 250 miles shorter between Winnipeg and Quebec than the route over the Canadian Pacific between Winnipeg and Montreal. We knew that the grades would be better; that transportation by that route could be much cheaper and would compete successfully with the lake-and-rail route and other railways. But now the Canadian Government will not take advantage of that; they will not use the Transcontinental railway to the best advantage to which it could be used, because if they did so, it would put some other railways out of business. The Government of Canada have onex duty to perform which is to see that the affairs of this country are managed in a business-like way.
Let us take another condition. Supposing that the Canadian Pacific or the Grand Trunk were to-day in the position of the Canadian National railways; supposing they had a line in the same situation and condition as the Transcontinental railway. Would they hesitate for one moment to compete with the Canadian Government road? Of course they would not. They tell us themselves that they are obliged to meet competition in Montreal with American roads and American canals. If the Canadian Pacific owned the Transcontinental railway and were able to give

better rates, they would not hesitate for a moment to give better rates and to take advantage of the better situation which they would have. The Canadian Government are by no means justified in not taking advantage of the position they occupy. By diverting to Canadian ports over the Transcontinental railway the traffic of Western Canada, they would attain two great advantages for this country. They would reduce the cost of transportation of western wheat to the great benefit of the western farmer, and they would increase traffic over the Canadian National railways.
Another objection which we met before the Board of Railway Commissioners was that the grain went to New York because there tramp vessels in any number could be found. We have now a complete fleet of Canadian Merchant Marine, and the Canadian Merchant Marine could be used to no better advantage than to help the Canadian National railways in getting out of the muddle in which they are at present. Surely we have all the tramp vessels that we need, when fifteen or twenty of them are anchored idle in the harbour of Halifax, and when others roam over all the seas in quest of freight and cargoes. We have the cargo-it is the western wheat. We have the railway-it is the Transcontinental. We have the tramp vessels-they are the Canadian merchant ships. With a complete system of that character, we should be able to help the western farmer to reduce the cost of his transportation and the Canadian National railways to increase their traffic and thus reduce the annual deficits which are such a burden to the country. I wish the Minister of Railways would be consistent and would endeavour to accept the suggestions that he so cordially invited at the opening of the session, but which he is so reluctant to follow when they are put forward.


John Flaws Reid: I have listened very earnestly to many arguments that have been put forward as to the reason why this Trent Valley canal should be gone on with. The hon. member for Peterborough East (Mr. Sexsmith) stated that this was necessary for conservation purposes. If that be a fact, again it becomes purely a provincial matter, because hon. members of this committee know very well that the natural resources of Ontario belong to that province. If the people of Ontario wish the canal for conservation purposes, then it is up to the provincial Government to construct it.
Another argument was put forward that the construction of this canal was necessary
in order to provide cheaper transportation of grain for the western farmer. Again our eastern friends are very kind to the western farmer in endeavouring to provide cheaper transportation for his grain. I am at a loss to know what system of waterways we are going to have. The Minister of Railways is talking about constructing the Welland ship canal and continuing it down to the port of Montreal, making of it a deep waterway system. Then this Trent Valley canal is going to be part of what is known as the Georgian bay canal.


John Dowsley Reid: The Trent canal and the proposed Georgian Bay canal are two entirely different works.


John Flaws Reid: I accept the minister's correction, but the hon. member for West Peterborough (Mr. Gordon) made the statement that this canal had to be continued up to the Georgian bay.


John Dowsley Reid: The Trent canal extends from lake Ontario to the Georgian Bay ports. There has been about $20,000,000 spent on it, and about $1,250,000 or $1,500,000 is still required to complete the western end. Then it will be a through waterway from the Georgian Bay ports to Montreal.


John Flaws Reid: That will be a third waterway system.


John Dowsley Reid: No, only two. The Trent canal will be a complete system, and then there will be the Welland canal. The Georgian Bay canal has not been started at all.


John Flaws Reid: That is in
prospect.


John Dowsley Reid: It has been there for thirty years.


John Flaws Reid: Another argument made was that the Quaker Oats people would .not reconstruct their plant that had been destroyed by fire unless they received an assurance from the Government that the canal would be maintained, and that they would be given cheap electric power. ,
. Hon. Mr. REID: I wish to correct the hon. member. I never made the statement that there was a pledge given to that company that they would get cheap electric power. We are not selling power.


John Flaws Reid: I did not
attribute that statement to the minister; it was made by an hon. member of the House. Now, if the Quaker Oats people



[Stage Direction]
wish to go into the business of manufacturing foodstuffs for export, and that is their sole object, their best plan, it seems to me, would be to get nearer to the field where their raw material is produced. They could also get cheap power there, on the Lake of the Woods, where there is already situated the Lake of the Woods Milling Company, a very large concern manufacturing foodstuffs for export. So that argument is knocked on the head
The only argument this committee can entertain is that the Federal Government got its head into a noose held by the Provincial Government of Ontario, and that the Federal Government is practically bound to keep this canal in repair in consequence. All other arguments fail.
My hon. friend from East Algoma (Mr. Nicholson) made the statement that members on this side of the House were finding fault on the ground that this was purely a local matter, and for local benefit. I maintain that that is correct. He instanced a case on the Atlantic sea coast where ships were receiving subsidies to provide transportation for settlers along that coast which they otherwise wouild not be able to get, and he asked what benefit that was to the people of British Columbia. If he will look through the Estimates he will find at page 46 that the same thing obtains along the Pacific coast. Large subsidies are being granted to ships along the Pacific coast. There is one item, for instance, of $130,509 for steamship subsidies, another for $21,000 for a steamship service between Prince Rupert and the Charlotte Islands, another item of $3,000, another of $25,000 for a steamship service between Victoria, Vancouver and Skagway, another of $24,800, and another of $5,000-all on the Pacific coast. We do not complain that these subsidies are granted to provide transportation facilities along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts; not at all, the people have to have means of transportation. But on this little stream, a dry creek, you might call it, on this Trent Valley canal, we have already expended $20,000,000, and year after year we are asked for a further grant of $500,000; when we are asked to expend $5,500,000 on the Welland canal, at a time when, as my hon. friend from Brome (Mr. Mc-Master) very well put it, we cannot afford to spend such lavish amounts of money. It has been said by big business men of Canada that the Government is spending money like a drunken sailor, and we have an example of it here to-night.
TMr .T. D. Reid.]
It is also said that these canals will cheapen transportation rates. I am sure that the minister knows that the more this Government spends on our inland waterway transportation system, the higher the rates become. I would ask my hon. friend if he would be willing, as Minister of Railways in this Government, to introduce into this House a Government measure to bring the ships on our inland waters under the control of the Board of Railway Commissioners, so that we would have some control over their rates in view of the fact that we are spending so much money in aids to navigation. There is no answer. Mr. Chairman, I am opposed to the passing of this item, and I shall vote against it.
Mr. EULER:: I suppose it will seem rather strange for a Western Ontario man to oppose the expenditure of public money on the Welland canal, yet I am opposed to it for this reason:	Some weeks ago
when the resolution was under discussion dealing with the construction of a great waterways system all the way down the St. Lawrence, I opposed that on the ground that the country was not financially capable of undertaking that enormous expenditure. To complete that great waterways system would require no less a sum than $600,000,000 or $700,000,000. The Welland canal is simply a link in that chain of waterways, and will be of no practical use unless the rest of the system is completed. In my opinion it is utterly impossible for this country to undertake at this time the expenditure of such a sum of money as $600,000,000 or $700,000,000. It has even been contended, and with considerable force, that the completion of the Welland canal before the completion of the other links in the great waterways system will be a detriment to Canada rather than of assistance. If that is the case, we have an additional reason why we should not vote this $5,000,000 at this time. If the completion of the Welland canal without the completion of the whole system is not going to be of any value to the country, we should not enter upon the expenditure of another $50,000,000 which will be required in order to comple that one link. We would at least save the interest on that sum of money, which would amount to between two and three million dollars a year, and that is very well worth saving at the present time, especially in view of the fact that we have no revenues from these canals whatsoever. Last week, I think it was, while we were discussing some other Estimates, I ex-

pressed the opinion that the canals of Canada should be made self-sustaining. I find there are now some voices raised in support of that contention.
As for the Trent Valley canal, I have seen it, and it seems to me it is after all only something in the nature of a glorified Newmarket canal. It is never going to be of any very great benefit. I do not imagine that the commercial traffic that will ever pass over that cana'l will amount to anything at all. It is practically negligible, and while I can quite understand the solicitude of the hon. member for West Peterborough (Mr. Gordon) for this project, as a Canadian who desires to see the moneys of the country expended properly, I cannot support it. I think the item should be struck out altogether, so far as capital expenditure on this undertaking is concerned. In the present position of the country, it is quite unjustifiable for the Government to go on with the construction of permanent works in connection with the Welland or the Trent canals, and I therefore move that the item of $5,000,000 for the continuation of the work on the Welland canal be struck out.


John Dowsley Reid: I can hardly believe that the hon. member is sincere in moving a motion of that kind. This item is absolutely necessary, for the reasons I have stated on several occasions. This work was started before the war, after it had been considered, not only by this Government, but by previous governments, and by both parties. Both political parties agreed that it was a work of necessity and one that would be advantageous to all parts of Canada. It was commenced, and a great deal of work was done. To abandon the project now would be to do a great injustice to all parts of the country, and it would simply be throwing away money that had already been expended.


John Archibald Campbell: I have not been able to hear the minister. Is he speaking about the Hudson Bay railway?


John Dowsley Reid: No, I referred to that a short time ago, but I will take it up again when we come to that subject. My hon. friend (Mr. Euler) may not think this work of any value to his own district, or to the rest of Canada. If so, I suppose he is right in moving the motion; but I cannot agree with him.


William Daum Euler: It is not a question of this work being particularly of benefit to my own constituency. I trust I can take a broader view than that.


John Dowsley Reid: Or any other part of Canada; I said both.


William Daum Euler: I will go so far as to say that ultimately the construction of a new Welland canal, to give passage to ocean going ships, will be of benefit to this country, but it will not be of any benefit unless you consider the whole system and enter upon the deepening of the entire waterway down to the gulf of St. Lawrence. That cannot be done without the expenditure of six or seven hundred million dollars which the country cannot afford at the present time. If after a few years we see that our financial position is such that we can keep our head above water, then I am prepared to vote for an expenditure of this kind. At present, however, the Government would be well advised to suspend such capital expenditures until we see where we stand financially, and are sure that the money that we do spend in a capital way will be of real benefit to the country.


Mr. THOMSON (Qu'Appelle):: I am strictly opposed to this vote. I do not think we should consider for a moment voting $5,000,000 for the purpose of construction work on the Welland canal. I would not have spoken on this item but for the fact that I am paired with the member for North Battleford (Mr. Long), and I am not sure whether that arrangement applies to votes taken in the committee. In any event, because of my being so paired, I would not vote on the item; so I want to register my opposition to this expenditure.


William Daum Euler: So that there may be no misunderstanding, while I am, of course, in favour of my own motion, I want to state that I am paired with an hon. member on the other side and therefore shall not vote.	. ;
Amendment (Mr. Euler) negatived on division.


Georges Henri Boivin: Shall the item carry?


Frank S. Cahill: No. I want to go on record as being opposed to an expenditure of $5,000,000 on the Welland canal. We have been told that items were passed last year in regard to certain matters and that we did not vote against them. Well, I am certainly opposed to this vote, because I think it is an extravagance on the part of the Government.


John Allister Currie: Is the hon. member in order after the vote has been taken on the motion?


Georges Henri Boivin: The question was
upon the amendment to strike the sum of $5,000,000 from the total amount of the resolution. The resolution of which that $5,000,000 is a part is still before the committee, and I must therefore rule the remarks to be in order.


Frank S. Cahill: The hon. member seems to be taking a very keen interest in the debates in the last few days, rising to points of order.


Georges Henri Boivin: I must point out to the hon. member for Pontiac (Mr. Cahill) that the remarks he is now making are certainly not in order. They are not at all relevant to the item under consideration.


Frank S. Cahill: ' I agree with you, Mr. Chairman, and I also agree with your ruling when you tell the hon. member for Simcoe (Mr. Currie) that he is out of order and that his point is not well taken.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order.


Frank S. Cahill: Apparently, therefore,
we are both out of order.


Georges Henri Boivin: The Chairman will be obliged to ask the hon. member to discontinue his remarks unless he can bring them to bear upon the resolution under consideration.


Frank S. Cahill: I was about, to express compliance with your ruling, Mr. Chairman, when you again rose to call me to order. What I was saying when the hon. member for Simcoe appeared to wake up-


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Order.


Frank S. Cahill: -was that I was opposed to this vote, and I want to put myself on record to that effect, because if I did not state my views on the subject my position would not appear on the record as having opposed the item. Hon. members on this side of the House have been challenged to vote against different items and I therefore want to let the country know that I am opposed to this particular vote.


Georges Parent: Has a contract been let for the construction of the proposed works?


John Dowsley Reid: I stated a few moments ago that one contract has been let for one of the sections. The other three tenders have not yet been called for the remaining three sections, but the whole thing will be carried on on the cost plus basis.


William Daum Euler: What is the amount of the contract let?


John Dowsley Reid: The contract is for
$2,442,000, and it will take three years to complete the work.
tUr Currie.l


Georges Parent: Has the National Sand and Material Company obtained a contract for any of these works?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes they have a small contract for delivering sand.


Georges Parent: The minister calls it "a small contract." What would that represent in money?


John Dowsley Reid: My officials tell me it is for about 50,000 yards at about seventy cents a yard, which would mean approximately $35,000. That is for sand for sections 1, 2 and 3. There is no contract for sand for the other section-that is entirely a dredging contract. But sections 1, 2 and 3 are for locks and we will require sand and cement for them. Tenders, of course, will be asked for the sand and cement.


Georges Parent: I do not know whether the National Sand and Material Company own dredges and operate them at seventy cents a yard.*I would like to know if that is the case?


John Dowsley Reid: They have a plant
especially for that work. The sand is taken out of the Niagara river, and a special plant is required for taking that sand from the bottom of the river and placing it in their vessel. Then it has to be taken to shore and delivered to the works.


Georges Parent: Can we get the price paid for gravel and the price paid for sand?


John Dowsley Reid: We have no contract running at the present time for gravel. The Auditor Generals' Report would show the prices paid last year.


Georges Parent: We cannot discuss enquiries that are being carried on at the present time in the Public Accounts Committee. I do not want the minister therefore to mislead the committee by stating that we are discussing the prices that are being paid at the present time-I am not asking for that.


John Dowsley Reid: I know but I have not the information here. If I had I would give it to you.


Georges Parent: The National Sand and Material Company also appear to be working for the department on the Welland canal improvements. I would like to know why the same company received seventy cents a yard for work done on the Welland ship canal, and in the case of the improvements on the Welland canal supplied 671 cubic yards of gravel at one dollar per cubic yard?


John Dowsley Reid: If I remember rightly
it was for this reason: In the one case they had to transship the material to trucks, or something of the kind, and deliver it at the works quite a distance away. There was, therefore, something added to the price for the sand delivered on the dock and for taking it farther on to the works. The gravel was delivered in the canal alongside the works.


Georges Parent: Was the extra price paid for sand or for gravel?


John Dowsley Reid: The sand is delivered
at the entrance to the canal. The higher price is paid when it is delivered alongside of the work in the canal itself. Extra cost, of course, is involved in transferring it from lake Ontario ports to the works.


Georges Parent: According to the explanation given, the National Sand and Material Company was paid seventy cents a cubic yard for sand delivered at a certain place, and in another case one dollar per cubic yard was paid. Now, according to figures appearing at page W-47 of the Auditor General's Report a further sum of $1.50 was paid. It appears that prices vary very often as far as this particular company is concerned. I would like to know why the material is gravel at one time and sand on other occasions?


John Dowsley Reid: As I understand there are different places along the works at which material is delivered; it is not all delivered at one particular point. Without having the contract before me I could not speak with any positiveness, but
11 p.m. my officials tell me the difference is because delivery is made at different points along the canal.


Georges Parent: Does the minister know
who the directors of this Sand and Material Company are?


John Dowsley Reid: I have never heard the name of any member of that firm, nor have I any idea. I do not know whether any of my officials have. Well, the only gentleman they know is Mr. Dick, who seems-


Andrew Ross McMaster: Dick what?


John Dowsley Reid: Mr. Dick; that is his
name. He is the man that manages the company; at all events he is the one who seems to deal with the officials of the department.


Georges Parent: I see that a total of
$2,642,110.37 has been spent on the contracts awarded, which is a little over the figure mentioned by the minister a short time ago.


John Dowsley Reid: What page of the
Auditor General's Report is my hon. friend referring to?


Georges Parent: Page W-13.


John Dowsley Reid: All right.


Georges Parent: The Dominion Dredging Company secured a contract on force account. Were there any tenders called for?


John Dowsley Reid: Well, as I have
stated, tenders were originally called for, and the work went on until the war when we settled up with the contractors and closed the work down. After the armistice, when work was resumed, the Canadian Dredging Company, and the others that I named, were put on a cost-plus basis. On January 1, when we renewed their contracts on that basis, it was on the distinct understanding that the time had arrived when we would call for tenders and instructions were given to the engineers to prepare plans and specifications so as to enable that to be done. It takes some little time to do so. One section is ready and the other three sections will be ready in two or three weeks.


Georges Parent: That is to say, at a certain time just as the war came on these various contractors were engaged on the work?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes.
'Mr. PARENT:	Then, due to the conditions which prevailed during the war, the - department, thinking that these contractors would be losing money, stopped the work and settled up with them. Now the war being over, the department, without asking for tenders, is just letting the same contractors go ahead on a cost-plus basis of eight or ten per cent. Is that the case?


John Dowsley Reid: When we closed down the work on account of war conditions it was in order to avoid expending more money at that time. When we started the work again we let it on a cost-plus basis because labour, materials and supplies being so high it would have been impossible to get tenders at anything but a very high figure. Now conditions have changed and we are calling for tenders. These are not the only public works that were closed down at that time.


Georges Parent: Yes, but the others were not started again.


John Dowsley Reid: Not all of them.


Joseph Archambault: Before the
S.O.S. call was sent out by the minister

to the smoking and voting power of the Government in order to defeat the amendment of my hon. friend from North Waterloo (Mr. Euler), I intended putting a question to the minister, but he was on his feet. The question is, what is the percentage that the contractors are getting on this cost-plus contract?


John Dowsley Reid: Eight per cent on a certain part of the work. We supply some of the materials, and of course they do not get any percentage thereon.


Joseph Archambault: Do I understand the minister to state that the Government supplies the cement?


John Dowsley Reid: We bought it by tender at the cheapest price and do not pay a percentage on it to the contractors.


Mr. ARCH AMB  AULT@: According to
the Auditor General's report at page W-47 the Canada Cement Company supplied $14,250.25 worth of cement for the Welland canal. Was that after tenders were called for?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes.


Joseph Archambault: What companies tendered and what prices did they quote? I am interested in Canada Cement.


John Dowsley Reid: Tenders were received from the Canada Cement Company, the St. Mary's Cement Company, and an other firm-the deputy minister thinks it was Alfred Rogers.


Joseph Archambault: Was the contract given to the lowest tenderer?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes, in every case.


Joseph Archambault: Is the minister sure of that?


John Dowsley Reid: I am informed so by the deputy minister and the chief engineer, and my recollection is that in all cases where tenders were asked for the lowest tender was accepted.


Joseph Archambault: Does the Government supply a great quantity of these materials besides cement?


John Dowsley Reid: Steel ropes, timber and other supplies were taken over at the time the work was closed down. No percentage is paid on those materials.


Joseph Archambault: Was this cement bought through the Purchasing Commission or through the Minister of Marine and Fisheries?


John Dowsley Reid: The Minister of Marine and Fisheries had not anything to do with it at all-he never knew we were ordering
fMr. Archambault.]
any cement. The tender accepted was approved by the Purchasing Commission.


Joseph Archambault: The Purchasing Commission had nothing to do with it then?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes, they approved it before it was finally settled.


Joseph Archambault: Suppose your
department had sent a requisition to the Purchasing Commission, and afterwards tenders were received and your department approved the lowest tender and sent it to the Purchasing Commission, would the commission refuse to accept that tender the commission refuse to accept that tender?


John Dowsley Reid: If they could show any good reason why the lowest tender should not be accepted, the minister or the Government would reconsider it.


Joseph Archambault: What would the minister consider a good reason in such a case?


John Dowsley Reid: I would have to depend on the reason given.


Georges Parent: Can the minister give
the amount expended on the vote last year , for this work?


John Dowsley Reid: Aggregate payments
to contractors to date during the fiscal year of 1920-21, $2,588,588.78. I can give a list of the parties to whom the money was paid if the hon. member wishes.


Georges Parent: That may not be necessary for the information I want to put before the committee. I would ask the minister to turn to page W-2 of the Auditor General's report where under Welland Ship Canal Construction he will find that the item represents an expenditure of $3,499,962.35. How can he reconcile this figure with the one he has just given the committee?


John Dowsley Reid: I gave the hon. member what was spent between March 31 last year up to the present. The Auditor General's report he is looking at is for the expenditure between April 1, 1919 and March 31, 1920. The Auditor General's report that we would bring down next session would contain the figures I have just given because it would show what was expended on the vote last year.


Georges Parent: That would make over $5,000,000.


John Dowsley Reid: It would on the two years.


Georges Parent: When we ask the minister how much was spent during the fiscal

year, he answers that the total amount expended under the contract was something over $2,000,000, whereas the Auditor General's Report indicates an expenditure of about a million more. The minister says that this is due to their system of accounting. Well, it would almost seem as if they take whatever amount suits their purposes.


John Dowsley Reid: Perhaps I did not make myself clear. The Auditor General's Report which was brought down a few days ago shows the expenditures made for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1920, and based on the Estimates presented in 1919. The Auditor General's Report for next year will show the expenditures for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1921, based on Estimates presented in 1920. What I am giving the hon. member, therefore, is what will appear in the Auditor General's -Report next year, based on the items voted last year.


Georges Parent: Then the contractors
who have been working on force account have been doing so for quite a long while?


John Dowsley Reid: They have been doing work on that basis for two years. From now on, as contracts are let, the work on force account will cease.


Georges Parent: When materials are
bought in connection with work done on force account, are the purchases made by the purchasing agent of the department or by the contractors themselves?


John Dowsley Reid: Materials other than those we supply are purchased by the contractors, subject to the approval of our engineers in charge of the work.


Georges Parent: What percentage would the contractor get on these contracts?


John Dowsley Reid: Eight per cent.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: How long after the outbreak of war were these contracts cancelled?


John Dowsley Reid: In December, 1916, or at the beginning of 1917.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: At whose request were the contracts cancelled?


John Dowsley Reid: At the request of the Government. Of course, the contractors also wanted them to end.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Why?


John Dowsley Reid: The Government did not wish to go on with the expenditure during the war, having regard to war conditions.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Is it not a fact that the principal reason was that the contractors were losing money or feared they would lose money under the contract?


John Dowsley Reid: Well, no, I would not say that. When the war was on, men engaged in all these government works enlisted and went overseas, and most of those who remained were required for other war work, munitions and so on. The contractors, of course, did want to shut down, because the tenders were called for prior to the war when conditions were normal and the cost of labour and material following the outbreak of war went up to an abnormal extent.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Was it the policy of the Government generally during the war to cancel contracts of all kinds?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes, in the case of work which it was possible to close down on temporarily.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: But at the request of contractors who were losing money.


John Dowsley Reid: No, I do not want the hon. member to put words in my mouth which I did not say. I do not think he intends to do that. The hon. member will agree that one way of making available the necessary labour for munitions, supplies, and so on during the war was to close down on contracts of this kind.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: When was the work reopened?


John Dowsley Reid: December, 1918, but they did not commence until January, 1919.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Is it not a fact that in the session of 1918 the sum of $2,000,000 was voted for the Welland canal?


John Dowsley Reid: There was a vote in that year, but it was to settle with the contractors for the closing down of the work.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Does the minister remember arguing at that time that he was carrying on this work for the benefit of the returned soldiers? I remember having an argument with the minister on that point when I told him that the returned soldiers did not care to go in for pick and shovel work; that they had had enough of digging ditches. I think the minister's excuse for carrying on this work during the war was in order that returned soldiers might be employed.


John Dowsley Reid: So far as*I remember,
it was after the armistice, in the winter of %

1919, that the first vote for resuming work on the Welland canal was put in,


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: I do not know the minister's department as well as he does; he takes such careful note of everything that goes on in his department that, without having documentary evidence before me, I would not dare to contradict him. The minister stated that during the war the Government did not like to carry on with these public works because of the large expenditures. Did I understand the minister aright?


John Dowsley Reid: That was one reason.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: And a good one.


John Dowsley Reid: The other was just
as good, that we required men for other work in connection with the war.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Does the minister think
that we are in as good a position now financially as we were during the war?


John Dowsley Reid: I think so. We are
certainly not spending four or five hundred million dollars per annum on the war.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Does the minister think
that, generally speaking, the financial condition of the country is better now than during the war?


John Dowsley Reid: I think we are in
much better shape financially and getting better every day.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: What about the railways?


John Dowsley Reid: I think the railways
will also improve from time to time.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: If the minister argues
that although, during the war, we had no money to carry on with these public works, we have sufficient money for that purpose to-day, I am not at all surprised that he insists on the item passing and that he will not agree to diminish it or to cut it out altogether. Does the department receive monthly reports from the contractors at the present time?


John Dowsley Reid: We receive reports
from the engineer in charge of the work.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Did the minister receive
one last month?


John Dowsley Reid: We received reports
last month.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: From the engineer in
charge of the work on section No. 1?


John Dowsley Reid: Mr. Grant, the
engineer in _ charge of the whole work, reports on each contract, and he reported on No. 1.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Has the minister the
figures for No. 1 here?


John Dowsley Reid: I have not the report
of last month. I have the report up to March 31.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: In the report, was an
item included for the amount of dredging done since the contract was given on a straight contract basis?


John Dowsley Reid: The work was on a
cost-plus basis during 1919-20, and we are letting the contractors continue during 1920-21 on a cost-plus basis until we can get the specifications ready to call for tenders. We have been able to call for tenders only for section No. 5. The Canada Dredging Company have been awarded that contract, and it is only now being made out and signed. The contractors are still working on a cost-plus basis.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Nobody is working on
a contract basis at present?


John Dowsley Reid: That is so. By next
Wednesday or Thursday, the Canada Dredging company will sign a contract and that part will be on a contract basis.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: Do I understand that the
straight contract basis will have a retroactive effect to the first January, 1921?


John Dowsley Reid: No. We will call for
tenders on sections Nos. lj 2 and 3 within the next few weeks. The contracts will be let to the lowest tenderer and the cost-plus will cease. If the present contractor does not put in the lowest tender, his contract will end. When the contracts are signed, the work will be on a straight contract basis.


Lawrence Geoffrey Power: The minister may have
heard this outside or on the street. Is it a fact that there is a great difference between the quantities now being taken out and the quantities taken out when contracts were on a cost-plus basis?


John Dowsley Reid: We have not let any
contracts yet on those works, so that I could not compare the quantities. We have no contractors working under anything but a cost-plus basis.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Can the minister give us a comparison of figures between the old contracts, that is the contracts that were let before the war, showing what it was costing us then to carry on this work on a schedule basis, I presume, so much for rock, so much for sand, so much for gravel, and the cost-plus basis? How does the cost-plus compare with the contract that is now let? The country should have

a clear conception of how we are doing this work, what are the schedule prices, what was the original cost before the war, what it was costing us on the cost-plus basis and what are the costs now?


John Dowsley Reid: The average price for
tenders that are called now are much higher than they were prior to the war on the old contracts that we cancelled. The present tenders, in fact, are almost double the contract prices prior to the war. One could hardly compare the cost of work done on a cost-plus basis with even the tenders we are receiving now for this reason, that the work had to be started up again and the contracts got ready and in condition to work again. We did not have the same efficiency because we had a serious time to furnish work for men and men were being put on during that time. The cost-plus would be higher than present prices, so that by letting contracts now the work can he done more cheaply than by continuing on the cost-plus basis.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: Let us have this a
little more definite if possible. Take section No. 1. The classification of the work was there, sand, gravel, rock and so forth. Under the old contract, what were the schedule prices, the prices for removing a yard of earth, rock or sand or whatever it was? Compare that with the prices for removing the same commodities under the cost-plus basis. I want to know how we were faring in Canada on this work under cost-plus as compared with the contracts.


John Dowsley Reid: My officials tell me
that it would not be possible to place the figures side by side, for this reason: When the work was started originally, conditions were not the same as they were when we started on a cost-plus basis. On new work, the hon. member can understand that there is a good deal of material that can be removed very easily, but when you get down quite a piece, the work of removal becomes more costly. I asked my officials to endeavour to give me exactly the information asked for by the hon. menfber, and they told me that it was an absolute impossibility to do that so as to be able to say that a comparison was exact. I wanted to find out whether it was better to continue on a cost-plus basis or to call for tenders. What they tell me is that as nearly as the comparison can be made, the cost-plus last year was much higher than the price we are letting the work for by contract this year. That is as near as I can give it to the hon. member. If it were possible to compare the items side by side, I would be very glad to do it.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: When the minister
started this work on force account in the winter of 1919, I remember that I found fault with the commencement of the work then because it was bound to cost too much, and very much more than it would cost under more normal conditions if tenders were called. I want to protest again now.
I venture to say that this work has cost three times as much on force account what it would have cost if proper precautions had been taken and we had waited until a proper opportunity had arrived before calling for tenders. I do not admit that there was such a rush for this work; I believe we could have awaited a more favourable time for calling for tenders. It was not business-like for the department to push this work forward under the circumstances, when they were getting far less work done, and it was costing three times as much as it would have under ordinary and proper conditions.


William Daum Euler: The minister has just
stated that the contracts now will be very much higher than before the war. That, of course, is to be expected. I would like to ask if the minister is making the change from the cost-plus system to the contract system now because he believes that conditions and prices have become stabilized. Does he believe that costs have been reduced about as far as he expects them to go? Does he not think that the country would be the gainer to the amount of a good many million dollars if he delayed letting contracts until costs came down, when the capital expenditure, of course, would be much reduced and the interest on the investment would be minimized for all the years to come? It not that worth considering?


John Dowsley Reid: I consider that prices have become stabilized, and I think that the contractors have come to the same conclusion so that they can make an average for the three years during which the contract is to run. Personally I do not believe that they can come out even on the con. tract, but averaging it up I believe that they think the prices are fair. If we were to carry on with the cost-plus system, it would cost very much more than under this system of contract. The officials tell me, and I have gone into the subject thoroughly that we will save a great deal of money by having the work done by contract instead of on the cost-plus system.


William Daum Euler: I do not doubt that for a moment. There is no question in the mind of anybody who knows anything about

these things that the cost-plus system would cost a good deal more than the contract system, but does not the minister believe that the present costs will be very much greater than they would be next year, or two or three years from now? If he believes, as I do, that in a few years the work could be done for considerably less than it is being done for now, would it not be worth while considering delaying the work for that period until costs have come down?


John Dowsley Reid: We have considered the question from every standpoint. If we were to close down the work, it would cost a very large amount, both to close down and open it up again. There would be a great loss there.


William Daum Euler: In the deterioration of the work?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes, a great loss. That is one thing that made the cost-plus system very much higher. I have had my staff go into the whole question thoroughly, and we have come to the conclusion that this is really the very best thing to do.


Arthur Bliss Copp: May I ask the minister one or two questions in regard to this cost-plus business, or force account? What does the contractor supply in the way of machinery, plant and equipment? Does the contractor supply all that, or does the Government supply some? Who keeps the machinery and plant in repair? On what exactly is the eight per cent figured?


John Dowsley Reid: The contractor supplies his own staff. Then, of course, the dredging men have their own plant. We supply a portion of the plant, and they have some of their own.


Arthur Bliss Copp: That is a very general
answer, and only goes to show how absolutely unsatisfactory and how imprudent a method it is, and how the country must view the situation that we have presented to us to-night when you get down to the real details of it. My hon. friend says that the Government supplies some plant, and that the dredging company supplies dredges. I noticed, however, when I was running over hurriedly the year's operations ending March 31, 1920-I have not got all the items, but just a few, because I did not have time-that the commissions paid during that year to the contractor on this cost-plus or force system amounted to $124,624.65.


John Dowsley Reid: That includes four contracts.


Arthur Bliss Copp: I have taken all the commissions paid, Und I also find that the Government purchased during the one year for this work, plant and equipment amounting to $274,978.87. There are also large items to engineers, and assistant engineers, that the Government pays out irrespective of the contractors altogether. Then I find one item alone of repairs to machinery amounting to $10,000, but what surprised me most, except that it is a small amount in comparison with the others, is an item for $10,000 for printing and stationery for that one year in connection with the work on the Welland canal. I know how useless it is for a man to go through these items and bring them before the minister for his consideration, but there are the plain bald facts as to this expenditure. I am not in a position to argue whether the Welland canal is a necessity or not. Hon. gentlemen opposite say that it is, while hon. gentlemen on this side who know the situation say that it is not. That is a matter of opinion, a matter for argument. But I do say that the minister should give the committee some sort of a detailed answer. I ask you in all fairness, Mr. Chairman, what kind of answer the minister gave to my question regarding the details of the cost-plus system. What did his answer mean to the country? It could not mean anything to them, and it does not mean anything to us. We do not know who gets this money, who purchases the machinery, or whether it is purchased at the best possible prices. Yet the committee are asked to-night to hand out $5,000,000 to my hon. friend to expend	in the slipshod
manner that the money was expended by him during last year. Now that we are being overtaxed to get sufficient money to meet our liabilities on account of the war, to pay pensions, to pay interest on borowed money-and the Budget which will be brought down on Monday will no doubt impose increased taxation on us-it is unfair to the country for the Government seriously to think of expending $5,000,000 on a work of this nature.
I am not prepared to condemn this proposition, because there may be arguments on either side, and I do not know the location. But I do ask the Government, who are the trustees of the people's money, to consider whether they are not going too rapidly in the direction of large expenditures. It is impossible for one in the short time at his disposal to digest the Auditor General's Report and get all the facts, but it is absolutely unfair and without prece-

dent for a minister, in answer to a question regarding the expenditure of some three and a half million dollars, simply to say that the money was paid out for engineers and staff, and so forth, a vague statement that means nothing to this committee, and absolutely nothing to the country. Parliament is supposed to look into and examine all these expenditures before voting public money and I hazard the statement that there is not a member of the committee who really understands how that money was expended last year, of which the details appear in the Auditor General's Report. When we are asked to vote upwards of $5,000,000, there is hardly a quorum in the House to discuss the question; but if any hon. member suggests that some item be struck out, immediately hon. members on the other side file into the Chamber to oppose the amendment, altogether irrespective of whether it is reasonable or not. Some hon. members may think that this is a proper way of conducting parliamentary business, but it seems to me that it is pretty nearly time the people of the country were aroused to the gravity of the situation in which we find ourselves to-day, and were made aware of the way in which the public business has been carried on during this whole session.


Joseph Archambault: There are some companies which are evidently favourites of the Government. I brought to the attention of the committee a few moments ago an item for the payment of $14,250 to the Canada Cement Company in connection with the Welland canal. I observe on page W.8, another item of $44,279.53, paid to the Canada Cement Company. Was this particular contract awarded to the Canada Cement Company after tenders had been called for?


John Dowsley Reid: In connection with all these contracts for cement, tenders were solicited from the different cement companies. The hon. member knows that there are very few cement companies in Canada, and the Canada Cement is the largest. Their tender was the lowest and they got the contract, but there is no favouritism in any respect.


Joseph Archambault: Did the other companies tender?


John Dowsley Reid: The Canada Cement
Company and the other companies were all asked to tender. I can assure my hon. friend there is no favouritism at all, either on my part, on the part of the officials, or
on the part of any other member of the Government. The chief engineer and the deputy minister asked for tenders, and, as in every other case, the lowest tenderer got the contract.


Joseph Archambault: How many tenders were there?


John Dowsley Reid: the deputy minister
and the chief engineer tell me that there are only three companies they know of that tendered, the Canada Cement, Alfred Rogers, and the St. Mary's Company.


Joseph Archambault: In connection
with this particular contract for $44,000, were there tenders from the other two companies?


John Dowsley Reid: Tenders were called for from each of these companies. The officials estimate the total quantities required for the different canals and then call for tenders.


Joseph Archambault: What were the amounts of the other tenders?


John Dowsley Reid: I am sorry I have not that information to-night.


Joseph Archambault: It seems to me that the Canada Cement is getting all the cement contracts.


John Dowsley Reid: As I understand the hon. member, he wants to know what tenders were submitted and how much per barrel the tender of the Canada Cement Company was, and the same in regard to the St. Mary's and the Rogers companies.


Joseph Archambault: Yes.


John Dowsley Reid: I cannot give that information to-night, but if the hon. member will come to the department I will give him the files and let him go through them.


Joseph Archambault: I understand a few other companies tendered?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes. I will send a
copy of the tenders to the hon. member.


Joseph Archambault: There is another item on page W.49, of $3,041.81 paid by the Government to the Montreal Warehousing Company for cleaning 304,181 bushels of wheat, and this is charged to construction on the Welland canal. Will the minister explain this item?


John Dowsley Reid: On the top of the
same page the hon. member will see that there is reference to the Welland canal, reconstruction to Port Colborne elevator. As a result of an explosion, the whole top of the elevator was blown off. There was

a lot of wheat salvaged and of course it had to be re-cleaned. It was sent down to Montreal to the Warehousing company as they were, I suppose, the only firm that had the machinery to clean this wheat, and as it was part of the damages in connection with the Port Colborne elevator it was charged up to the elevator work. That is the explanation.


William Daum Euler: I would like to return to
the point raised by the hon. member for Westmoreland (Mr. Copp) in connection with the cost-plus system. I think the minister said that eight per cent was paid to the contractors. Does that eight per cent represent a clear profit to the contractors? The minister stated that the contractors themselves supplied certain portions of the plant. Were they paid interest on the amount of their investment over and above the eight per cent they received?


John Dowsley Reid: Most of the plant on sections 1, 2 and 3 is plant belonging to the Government which we purchased from them a short time ago. The $124,000 that the hon. member for Westmoreland mentioned as paid to the contractors was divided among the four contractors which would average, say, $31,152 to each. Now the contractors have their own office staff, comprising several employees, and they are paid for their own work in connection with the carrying on of the contract.


William Daum Euler: They pay for that out of the eight per cent they received?


John Dowsley Reid: That is out of the eight per cent, so that the $31,152 which they received on the average, say, if they all got-equal amounts, pays for their own office staff and their own work. The $124,000 does not represent clear profit; in fact only a very small amount would probably be profit. I would consider it a fair wage.


William Daum Euler: There is one point the
minister did not cover; it is in connection with the plant that is owned by the contractor. I think he said the contractors supplied some portion of the plant. What I asked was this:	What allowance or
remuneration was paid to the contractors for the plant which they supplied over and above the eight per cent?


John Dowsley Reid: I erred if I said they supplied plant in addition. They received only eight per cent. We own the plant. When they closed down We bought all

their plant. Sold a portion of it and have since bought some more. We supplied the plant; they did not supply any.


Joseph Archambault: Before the Minister of Justice leaves the chamber I wish to remind the committee that it is now twelve o'clock. We are now entering upon Ascension Day, and I know that my hon. friend would not like to work after twelve o'clock although some hon. members would I would therefore move that the committee rise and report progress.


John Dowsley Reid: I was going to suggest to the hon. member that we have been discussing this item all day. I would therefore ask the committee to pass it, and then we have just one more item for the wages of the staff in connection with these canals and repairs. The amount for wages is the same as last year plus the addition involved by reclassification. The item in question is 342; Canals, Staff and repairs -$1,902,500. We have had a fair discussion on the two canals, and if we could pass the two items in question the Minister of Justice then wanted to simply call an item in the Estimates of the Post Office Department so that he could go on with those Estimates. Then I would ask that the committee rise and report progress.
I think that is not an unreasonable request. If the committee agrees to that we could close right now, and we would not be trespassing on Ascension Day, a thing I am very anxious to avoid.


Georges Parent: Item 342 looks very simple. It is headed "Staff and Repairs".


Georges Henri Boivin: I will have to ask the committee to dispose of item 115 before we discuss any other item.	[DOT]


Joseph Archambault: Regarding item 115 I beg to move that it be reduced by $4,999,999.99.


John Dowsley Reid: I could not do very much in the shape of expenditure with a vote of simply one cent. I hope therefore my hon. friend will not press
12 m. his motion. Surely the hon.
gentleman does not propose to allow me only one cent for the Welland canal?


Joseph Archambault: The country
capnot allow even one cent for the Welland canal."


John Dowsley Reid: Perhaps the hon.
member will withdraw his motion and allow us to get this item through.
Amendment negatived.


John Archibald Maharg: I would like to ask the minister where he is getting the money for this capital expenditure on canal improvements?


John Dowsley Reid: When the Finance
Minister is making his Budget speech he will be able to explain that. He arranges all the finances, and these items were all submitted to him before the Estimates were presented to the House.


John Archibald Maharg: The Finance Minister is not under any obligation to explain where he is getting the money from, and I do not think it is usual for him to do so. As far as we are concerned we have been trying to squeeze a little money out of Parliament some way or another to relieve the actual distress in the West by getting an extension of railways, but we cannot get the minister to promise us a single dollar. The first excuse given was that we would have to wait until the Railway Estimates came before the House which involved an expenditure of something like $70,000,000. Upon making inquiry recently of the responsible minister-who is possibly as much interested in the particular piece of road in question as anybody in the House-we were informed we would have to. wait until the Supplementary Estimates came down. It seems to be a case of passing the buck, as it were, and having to live on promises. You can get along on hope for a certain length of time, but you will come to the limit eventually. To me it is nothing more or less than a crime to spend $5,000,000 on a work that the country will get absolutely nothing out of. We have been told here repeatedly what an advantage these works are going to be to the West-that we will get our wheat Shipped out so much cheaper if we will just do this, that and the other thing. But, Sir, I find, with all due deference to what the minister told us to-night about the rates coming down, that the rates are going up continuously. There are people in the West who have to spend from thirty to fifty cents a bushel to get their wheat to the railroad simply because the Government declares that it cannot find a dollar to assist them. The Government can find millions of dollars for capital expenditure on canals, but cannot place its hands on a single dollar as far as the West is concerned even when it might relieve western people of that extra expenditure of from thirty to fifty cents a bushel. We have been told here to-night that we will get a reduction of probably a fraction of a cent
on the rates, or something like that, if this expenditure is made. I would like to ask the minister just what benefit this Welland canal is going to be to us? He has told us we will be able to get vessels carrying wheat through to Kingston. I would like to know what sized vessels can unload in Kingston harbour, and what facilities there are at'that port for the handling of grain?


John Dowsley Reid: I beg to inform the hon. gentleman that vessels carrying from 75,000 to 100,000 bushels of wheat can go through the Welland canal now. The new Welland canal will permit of the passage of vessels from the upper lakes having a capacity of from 300,000 to 400,000 bushels, and they will be able to go right through to Kingston. At Kingston there are splendid facilities for transferring grain going to Montreal.


John Archibald Maharg: Can you unload the largest vessels at the elevators at Kingston?
Hon." Mr. REID : Yes.


John Archibald Maharg: You have a larger capacity at Kingston than at any point on Georgian bay?


John Dowsley Reid: We have transfer
elevators there and it is not necessary to have very extensive storage as the grain is going by rail. With a cargo of 300,000 bushels on one side of the elevator, as at Port Arthur, and with vessels on the other side receiving it, the grain merely goes through the elevator. At Kingston, I think, there is about 3,000,000 bushels storage.


John Archibald Maharg: The minister is not answering my question at all. If you cannot get your boat up to your elevator how are you going to get your grain through the transfer elevator?


John Dowsley Reid: There is sufficient depth of water at Kingston.


John Archibald Maharg: What is the depth of water at the transfer elevator?


John Dowsley Reid: 20 to 25 feet.


John Archibald Maharg: On the Georgian bay you have just one elevator where you can unload your largest vessel, the Grant Mor-den; if you go to any of the others you have to transfer the grain to smaller boats. However, if Kingston is in that position, so much the better. The minister told us that he remembered the time when we paid twenty cents a bushel to get wheat from Fort William and Port Arthur to Montreal by water. When was that?


John Dowsley Reid: About thirty years ago the charge was 20 cents a bushel, and it has been coming down from year to year. The enlargement of the Welland canal brought the rate down to about five or six cents a bushel. That was prior to the war.


John Archibald Maharg: The minister states that we can get grain from Fort William to Montreal at five or six cents a bushel?


John Dowsley Reid: It has been as low as 31 cents a bushel from Port Arthur and Fort William to Montreal. I know some parties who were interested in a steamer that carried grain probably fifteen years ago between Port Arthur or Fort William and Prescott-where I live, and where grain is also transferred-for two cents a bushel, with a cent and a half from Prescott to Montreal-31 cents a bushel. I have no hesitation in saving that if a person were putting on a vessel at normal prices with wages as they were before the war, five or six cents a bushel would be a good rate.


John Archibald Maharg: I have made the statement here myself that it was carried for a fraction of a cent a bushel from Fort William and Port Arthur to the Georgian bay ports. Now the minister is corroborating my statement. But with all the reductions that the minister would like us to believe have been made, we are paying today practically what we paid in 1919 to get our wheat across the lakes. We paid then from Fort William to Georgian bay ports three cents a bushel, last year we paid four and a half cents in September and five and a half cents in October and November. No doubt the agitation that has been going on in this House for control of water rates and for the return of some of the boats that were taken off our own waters has had some effect, but nevertheless there is still a big charge, and we would like the minister to take it into consideration. What department does the merchant marine come under?


John Dowsley Reid: It is managed by the
board of directors that manages the Canadian National Railways.


John Archibald Maharg: That is, it comes under your department?


John Dowsley Reid: While the boats were
under construction and up to the present time they have been under the Minister of Marine, but I understand they will practically all report through the Department of Railways and Canals.


John Archibald Maharg: Do I understand the
minister to say that he is going to issue instructions for some of those boats to be brought back to the lakes?


John Dowsley Reid: I said I had been consulting with the manager of the merchant marine with a view of bringing them back here if there was any injustice being done in so far as rates were concerned.


John Archibald Maharg: If the minister is satisfied there is any injustice in the present rates he is going to bring those boats in, but otherwise not?


John Dowsley Reid: That must depend on
those who are managing these vessels. I did say I was drawing the attention of the manager to the rates now charged and asking him to consider the advisability of running some of these vessels in conjunction with the railway system with a view of ensuring that fair and reasonable rates would be charged by water transportation companies between the head of the lakes and Montreal.


John Archibald Maharg: Is the committee to
understand that the minister can only suggest that the vessels be brought back?


John Dowsley Reid: The vessels are in
exactly the same position as the Canadian National Railway system; I have nothing to do with their operation.


Andrew Ross McMaster: Is this power of suggestion often employed by the minister, and is it a strong or a weak power?


Joseph Archambault: I again wish to call the attention of the Minister of Justice to the fact that it is Ascension day and that the hon. member on his right (Mr. Morphy) cannot give him absolution for working on this day.


Charles Joseph Doherty: I am so well satisfied
with the intellectual enjoyment of listening to the many wise observations that are being addressed to the committee that I would not feel called upon to ask for any absolution.


Daniel Duncan McKenzie: I would suggest to
the Minister of Railways that he accept this item 115 to-night. It is a very large item, and I submit that the minister should accept it and let us go home.


John Dowsley Reid: I am always willing to accept any reasonable suggestion. I shall be glad to let all my other items stand if we pass this one. Of course, we wish to call one item in the Post Office Department.


Frank S. Cahill: Is it the intention to go on with the Estimates of another department?


John Dowsley Reid: We have many departments yet to go into and we are anxious to go on with them. Unless we get into the Estimates of the Post Office to-day there will be no chance to proceed with them until a week from to-morrow. We want to get on; that is the only reason. I am sure hon. members will not think that is unfair.


Frank S. Cahill: Does the minister intend that progress shall be reported on his Estimates? Is that the idea?


John Dowsley Reid: Yes-pass this item
and then call one item of the Post Office Department Estimates, hut not ask that it be passed; then rise, report progress and go home.


Frank S. Cahill: I would ask the Minister of Justice when he expects to go on with the Post Office Department Estimates if he goes into them to-night?


Charles Joseph Doherty: At the next opportunity that offers.


Georges Parent: When will that be?


Charles Joseph Doherty: On Friday or Saturday, whenever the proper time comes.


Frank S. Cahill: Shall we have reasonable notice as to when these Estimates will be taken up?


Charles Joseph Doherty: I give notice now that they will he taken up on Friday, if that is considered reasonable, or, if there is anybody whose convenience would be better suited by saying Saturday, why, I shall try to make any arrangement which will be convenient to everybody.


Rodolphe Lemieux: There is nothing in the annual report of the Post Office Department about the Madrid Conference at which, I understand, very important conclusions were come to, especially with regard to the status of Canada from a postal point of view as compared with that of the other nations. I understand that a resolution was passed under which Canada should not maintain the status she had before. As the matter is of considerable interest, I suggest that my hon. friend get a report of what was done, even if it is only a brief report.


Charles Joseph Doherty: I certainly shall be glad to procure it if possible.


Georges Henri Boivin: Item number 20- Post Office-


Georges Parent: Item No. 115 has not been put to the committee.


Georges Henri Boivin: I understood that the suggestion of the hon. minister had been unanimously accepted and the item agreed to. The committee could not discuss another item before it was disposed of.


Georges Parent: Not at all.


Georges Henri Boivin: We shall return to item 115. Shall the item carry?
Mr.. MAHARG:	When the minister
undertook this work during the session, I think, of 1918, he told us that the object was to give employment to the men who were returning from overseas. Just what proportion of the men employed were returned soldiers?


Mr. FRASER:: I may say that every returned soldier who applied for a job on the new Welland ship canal received employment. I got that information from the Soldiers Re-establishment Department.


John Dowsley Reid: Returned soldiers with families, 485; civilians with families, 535; single returned soldiers, 343; single civilians, 237.


John Archibald Maharg: That is very satisfactory; I have no complaint to make in that respect. There is one other point which I should like to bring up; it is in connection with information which I tried to get when we were discussing the merchant marine. We are spending something like $60,000,000 or $70,000,000 on ships. We are spending millions of dollars every year in connection with our railways, and apparently the matter is entirely out of our hands, since we have appointed a board of directors. Is it possible for the Government to call a halt so far as the management of this merchant marine is concerned?


John Dowsley Reid: I really cannot go into the marine end of this Welland canal item; it is not under my department. That information I should say, could have been obtained by my hon. friend from the Minister of Marine when his Estimates were going through. I am sure that he would be glad to give it on some of his other items.


John Archibald Maharg: I tried to get the information from the Minister of Marine, but the answer I got was just as evasive as that which the Minister of Railways has

just given. The minister told us to-night that he was going to look into this matter and advise us so-and-so; advice is all that he can give. It seems to me that if the Government have not made up their minds whether they are bosses of the job, it is about time they did. The opinion in our group-and this seems to be the general opinion on this side of the House-is that this is an entirely unwarranted expenditure at this particular time, and we are going to protest against it just as hard as we can. The night is young yet, and we would like to go into this item just a little bit further if possible. Now that tenders are being called for, are any provisions inserted in those tenders as to what class of men shall receive employment when the contracts are being carried out?


John Dowsley Reid: No.


John Archibald Maharg: The contracts are wide open; the construction may secure men anywhere they like and any class of men that they like. It is reported that in the city of Toronto there are thousands and thousands of ex-service men unemployed. Is no provision being made in these contracts to see that these men secure employment?


John Dowsley Reid: There is no such provision. The contractors are requested to carry out the policy that has been laid down, that is, to give returned soldiers work if they apply for it.


Some hon. MEMBERS:: Carried.


John Archibald Maharg: We will look after the carrying part of the matter after a while. There is plenty of time yet. This evening the hon. member for Algoma East (Mr. Nicholson) took strong exception to the attitude of some of us, and he tried to leave the impression that our attitude was sectional. He pointed but that a large number of the items were of a local nature. That is quite true, but there is a corresponding item in one part of the country to offset an item in another part. He illustrated an item of some $35,000 or $40,000 that was being spent for a ferry, and he said: British Columbia has no interest in that. But British Columbia has a big interest in a dry dock that is costing some two or three million dollars, which, I think, will offset that very well, so that we can quite understand why British Columbia is not showing any interest in an expenditure of $35,000 or $40,000. The situation with us on the prairies is quite different. We cannot get even a

branch railroad. They are not being built. We cannot get a dollar for them. Therefore, I think we are quite justified in our_ attitude. As the hon. member (Mr. Davis)' said to-night in connection with the Hudson Bay railway; they are absolutely on a par; in fact, the other was started long before this one, and it is in just as bad a state of repair, but nothing is being done whatever, neither is anything being done as regards the railroads through the prairies. If I understand aright, evidence was given before the Railway Committee the other day that, at the rate grain was being taken out at present, it would take about three years to take this year's grain out of certain parts of the West. If you have millions of dollars to spend on something that is not required at all, surely we can have some little assistance to get out of the country the grain that is there now. For some of this grain you .cannot get one-quarter of the price that would have been received had the grain been , moved out at the proper time. There are men shipping oats now out of Western Canada who are receiving almost nothing for it; in fact, one man was called upon, when the whole transaction was disposed of, to pay $37 or $38 charges to square the account. This was the result of lack of facilities for getting the grain out of the West. Farmers have been drawing grain thirty or forty miles this year when they should not have to draw it more than four or five. There is nothing in this proposition for Western Canada unless the Goveitment spends a couple of hundred million dollars more in deepening the St. Lawrence. There might be something to the proposition then, but it will be many years before the advantage to the West will amount to much. As the hon. member for Marquette (Mr. Crerar) said, if you can get sufficient business to bring boats to Canada, they will come and not till then.
The hon. member for East Peterborough (Mr. Sexsmith) tried to impress upon us to-night the great advantage that it would be to have our oats ground by the Quaker Oats people. About the only value that we in the West get from the fact that oats are ground is that we get the hulls shipped back to us again in the form of feed and fed to stock under the guise of oat feed, and instead of that assisting them along and helping them to perform their work, it has actually killed stock. About the extent of the value that we get from the grinding of oats is the privilege of having

it ground by a simplex grinder and the hulls sold as other foods when there is absolutely nothing in them.


Georges Henri Boivin: I must ask the hon. member to inform the Chairman, how remarks concerning the feeding of stock and the grinding of oats are relevant to the item now before the committee.


John Archibald Maharg: If the question had
been asked of the hon. gentleman who introduced the subject, the situation might have been a little different, but it was not. He was permitted to go on and tell us what good this was going to do for us. I am trying to reply by telling him that it would not do us any good. If I am out of order, I will pass on to something else.


Georges Henri Boivin: I think it would be
better if the hon. member did pass on to some other object, because while it is quite true that another hon. member may have said something aside from the question, I fear that is not sufficient justification to allow all other hon. gentlemen to do the same.


John Archibald Maharg: Your ruling, Sir, "is
that if one member makes a statement to bolster up his argument, another cannot-


Georges Henri Boivin: I must remind the
hon. member that he is not at liberty to question the ruling. He is at liberty to appeal from it if he so desires.


John Archibald Maharg: I am not criticising
your ruling, Sir, at all. I am trying to
understand it, to know where I am so that I will not get in wrong on a future occasion.
I will try something else if that is out of order. The minister in the early part of the evening was telling us what an advantage it would be to us in the West to pass this appropriation. The minister would just give us one illustration, if he can, as to what advantage the Welland canal has been to the West so far-


John Dowsley Reid: I really cannot give
any more than I have given several times this evening. I stated that the rate was very high through the original Welland canal. ' Then the canal was enlarged and the rates were materially reduced. I believe, when this work is completed, the rates will be further reduced. That is the only answer that I can give.


[Stage Direction]
Item agreed to.
Civil Government-post office,-salaries, contingencies, including $50 to W. Cooch, $1,435,144.
Charles Joseph Doherty: I presume hon. gentlemen would like to make some comments before the item carries. I do not ask them to discuss the item now. I beg to move the committee rise, report progress and ask leave to sit again.
Progress reported.
On the motion of Right Hon. Mr. Doherty the House adjourned at 12.38 a.m. Thursday.
